Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
