Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
