Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing.
