Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
