Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
