Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
