Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
