Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the 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 siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
