Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.
