Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
