Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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 caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
