Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
