Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in 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, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
