Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
