Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
