Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.
