Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
