Remedial Work
Faulty waterproofing installations make up 80% of all building defects. Fortunately with the right crew and tools, these issues can be solved and serve reliably for years to come.
The key to protecting your building from major structural damage is early detection and rectification of the fault. Metroseal's core specialty is the three pillars of building water and moisture protection, Waterproofing, caulking and sealing. The Metroseal standard has been forged through over 28 years of successful waterproofing through both industrial and residential sites.
While the cost of waterproofing is low, the implications can be significant if a fault is left unattended. If you suspect there may be a fault with the waterproofing in your building, contact us to book in an inspection and quote for repair.
When a fault is not detected and left to manifest over some time, the structure of the building can become compromised. In addition to the safety issue, this condition could cause insurance and liability issues.
Mould grows best in damp and poorly ventilated areas such as the interior of walls and flooring. As most water leaks occur in these areas, a delay in rectification could result in rapid growth of this funghi, making the area unsafe for occupation.
Water leaks can cause damage to interior furnishings such as carpet, furniture, blinds/curtains and other delicate items, as well as damage plastered walls and roofing. This could also lead to stubborn stains and smells attaching to some absorbent materials.
Concrete is generally reinforced using a steel structure or railing system. Waterproofing failure could cause the expansion of this steel and cracking of the concrete it is embedded within.
