Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
