Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
