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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
