Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
