Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
