Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
