Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
