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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
