Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
