Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences.
