Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences.
