Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
