Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
