Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house 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, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
