Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
