Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
