Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
