Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.
