Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
