Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
