Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
