Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
