Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
