Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
