Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
