Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
