Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
