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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
