Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
