Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
