Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
