Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
