Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
