Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
