Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
