Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences.
