Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
