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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing.
