Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
