Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
