Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
