Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
