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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences.
