Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
