Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences.
