Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
