Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
