Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
