Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

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