Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
