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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
