Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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