Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
