Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
