Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
