Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
