Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
