Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
