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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.
