Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
