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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
