Leak detection and leak repairs in Sydney

We find where water is getting into a building, then repair the cause so it stays dry.

Showers, balconies, planter boxes, roofs, windows and walls, in apartment buildings, commercial properties and homes across Sydney.

Strata managers call us for everything from a damp patch on a ceiling to water coming through a light fitting overnight.

How we find the source

Water often shows up a long way from where it gets in.

A stain on a ceiling can start at a shower 2 floors up, a balcony door seal, or a flashing on the roof.

We inspect the area, check the likely entry points around it, and test them with water where that helps confirm the source.

Rope access and drone inspections let us check facades, roofs and high windows without scaffolding.

You get a clear explanation of where the water is coming from, with photos, before the repair is quoted.

Repairing the cause, then the damage

Once we know where the water gets in, we repair that point properly.

That can mean resealing a shower, renewing a balcony membrane, resealing the joints around a window, or replacing a roof flashing.

Because we're builders as well as leak specialists, the same team then repairs what the water affected: plasterboard, paint, tiles and timber.

1 team from finding the leak to the finished repair keeps the job simple for the strata manager to coordinate.

Leaks in strata buildings

In a strata building, where a leak starts decides who looks after the repair, the owners corporation or the lot owner.

Our reports describe exactly where the water entered and what we found, which gives the strata manager and the committee the facts for the next step.

We arrange access with residents, keep them informed, and leave each apartment clean.

Questions

Leak detection and repairs: questions we're asked.

Can you find a leak without pulling out tiles?

In most cases, yes.

We inspect and test first, and only open up an area where it's needed to confirm the source or carry out the repair.

Do you repair the damage as well as the leak?

Yes, we repair the cause and then the damage, including plasterboard, painting, tiling and carpentry.

Do you attend emergency leaks?

Yes, 7 days a week, including after hours.

We make the area safe first, then find and repair the source.

Will I get a report I can send to the strata manager?

Yes, you get a written summary with photos showing where the water was getting in and what we recommend.

Who pays for a leak repair in a strata building?

It depends on where the leak starts, because the owners corporation generally looks after common property and each owner looks after their own lot.

Your strata manager confirms it for your building, and our report gives them the facts they need.
