Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
