Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
