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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
