Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
