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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
