Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
