Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences.
