Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
