Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
