Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
