Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
