Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
