Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
