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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
