Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
