Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
