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

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
