Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
