Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
