Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
