Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
