Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
