Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
