Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
