Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences.
