Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with 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 are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
