Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
