Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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