Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
