Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
