Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
