Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
