Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.
