Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
