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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences.
