Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
