Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
