Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences.
