Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
