Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
