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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
