Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
