Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.
