Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
