Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
