Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
