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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
