Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
