Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
