Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences.
