Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
