Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
