Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
