Unmaintained or inadequately installed claddings can become brittle and crack, allowing water driven by weather to breach your home's exterior.
Application of exterior waterproofing products including full plaster coats and inbound mesh layers will allow cladding to breathe and move without cracking while making the exterior more durable.

This is your home's first line of defence against water ingress. Many homes have inadequate flashings and in some extreme cases they are completely lacking, leaving your home completely unprotected.
Installation of appropriate off-the- shelf or custom made flashings, or refurbishment of existing flashings that are inadequate, are the most effective way of protecting internal structures and finishings.

Inadequate Ground Drainage
Ground level is the final resting place of any residual moisture and water. Incorrect ground levels and inadequate drainage away from a home's exterior cladding can result in seepage that can cause damage to internal structures and exterior claddings.
Installing specific and effective drainage systems coupled with making all necessary ground level adjustments will ensure water drains away from the home, resolving this issue.

Structural Heights and Thresholds
Wet, untreated timber that has no ability to dry and has a lack of airflow around it will eventually break down and lose it's structural integrity.
Moisture testing and replacement of affected timbers with treated timbers is essential to reinstate the structural integrity of the home. As an added measure, the areas around replaced timbers can have a topical treatment to increase resilience to any moisture generated by the home.

Decks
Waterproofing membrane products used in this area of the home since the early 90s are now failing and are breaking down, often becoming the origin of very serious leaks.
Complete removal of these products and any existing systems and application of new structural waterproofing membranes and decking systems, is usually necessary.
