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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
