Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
