Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
