Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
