Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
