Waterproof & Leak Repairs

Common problems include leaking balconies, failed membrane systems, and water ingress through external walls, roofing, or even poorly sealed joints and expansion gaps. These issues can lead to internal damage, mold growth, and costly structural repairs if left unaddressed.

Effective waterproofing repairs involve identifying the root cause of leaks through thorough inspections, removing compromised materials, and applying high-quality membranes or sealants suited to the specific conditions. Proper surface preparation, improved drainage solutions, and strict compliance with Australian building standards ensure long-term protection against moisture penetration, reducing the risk of recurring water damage and future maintenance expenses.

Common issues in strata buildings include persistent leaks from balconies, roofs, planter boxes, and external walls, often resulting from failed membranes, poor drainage, or structural defects. Accurate leak diagnostics is essential to identify the root cause rather than just treating surface symptoms. These often stem from poor construction practices during the original build. Many architectural and structural elements are constructed in sequence, and errors in detailing at junctions, flashings, or drainage points can easily occur. These seemingly minor oversights often become major contributors to water ingress and long-term structural deterioration.

During diagnosis, we focus on identifying design or construction weaknesses, applying targeted water testing and moisture detection to trace sources of ingress in order to help develop targeted solutions.
