Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" 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 is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
