Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built 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 in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
