Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
