Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
