Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
