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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
