Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.
