Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
