Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.
