Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
