Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
