Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
