Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
