Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
