Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
