Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
