Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
