We make leak investigations, find the cause and provide remediation designs for homes with leak problems and damage.
Ongoing leaks and dampness will have financial consequences which can be severe. Leak investigation is needed to discover the source of dampness so that repairs are appropriate and effective. We often find that there have been a series of repairs because the source was never properly identified and repairs were ineffective.
We have experience with finding solutions for performance failures such as leaks from roofs, exterior walls, decks, windows and retaining walls. Expert invasive investigation can be made to determine the condition of the timber framing and to find the leak source(s). Targeted repairs are often the best solution. Leak repairs may sometimes need upgrading to current building code standards with a new Building Consent, including appropriate designs. We are expert at giving you enough information so that you can work towards the best solution. Legal requirements are often unnecessarily punitive and unrealistic. There are usually better solutions.
Regardless of the type of cladding, assessing weathertightness risks will form part of the investigation. Our investigation includes moisture testing and assessing the exterior to give property owners an accurate picture of any performance failures that will cause ongoing damage over time.
Results from thermal imaging can be misleading because of the inability to always confirm the presence of moisture and they often indicate a high incidence of false negative or false positive readings. Using our expertise in building design and construction, along with the most appropriate specialist equipment, we can properly identify the cause of leaks and determine if there is any damage before a remedial repair plan is proposed.
