Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
