Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.

Does that change require an approved building permit? Complete building inspection reports can determine what work on the building does not have a building permit.
