Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
