Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
