Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
