Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences.
