Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.
