Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" 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 can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
