Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
