Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
