Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
