Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
