Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
