Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
