Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
