Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
