Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
