Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.
