Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
