Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
