Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
