Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
