Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house 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 piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
