Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
