Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
