Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through 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 best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
