Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
