Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.
