Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
