Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
