Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home 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 pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
