Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
