Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
