Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
