Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
