Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
