Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
