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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
