Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
