Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
