Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
