Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
