Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
