We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.
