Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
