Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.
