Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

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