Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.
