Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
