Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
