Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
