Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
