Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
