Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
