Red Flags & Warning Signs

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
