Water Ingress Investigation Specialists

Water ingress can be difficult to diagnose because water often enters a building in one location but appears internally somewhere completely different. Our investigations focus on identifying the likely source of moisture entry and narrowing down possible causes before unnecessary repair work is carried out.

Common Water Ingress Problems

• Water entering through windows and door frames.
• Roof and flashing leaks.
• Balcony and terrace waterproofing failures.
• External wall penetration issues.
• Shower waterproofing failures.
• Basement and retaining wall moisture issues.
• Stormwater overflow problems.
• Facade and cladding leaks.
• Apartment water ingress issues.
• Strata building moisture complaints.

How We Investigate Water Ingress

Water ingress investigations may involve moisture meters, thermal imaging, visual inspection, hose testing, pressure testing and building defect analysis depending on the circumstances and type of property involved.

Thermal Imaging & Moisture Investigation

Thermal imaging and moisture testing can help identify moisture pathways, saturated building materials and hidden areas affected by water damage. These tools assist in narrowing down the likely source of water entry.

Residential, Strata & Commercial Water Ingress Investigations

We regularly assist homeowners, strata managers, builders, body corporates, insurance assessors and commercial property managers with difficult water ingress issues affecting apartments, houses and commercial buildings.

Why Water Ingress Can Be Difficult To Diagnose

Water can travel significant distances through cavities, concrete, insulation, framing and structural components before becoming visible internally. This is why accurate investigation and testing is often more important than immediate repair work.
