Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
