Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.
