Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
