Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
