Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
