Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
