Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
