Inner West strata pocket mixing 1880s terraces with the 2010-2020 King Street infill wave.
Older brick stock with rising damp pressure, mixed with newer balcony failures across the King Street strata towers. Period sandstone retaining walls add facade and crack-injection work to the mix.
The Supcon approach is the same anywhere in Sydney metro: find the source, scope it properly, fix it once. The suburb’s build wave and exposure profile change the diagnosis, not the standard.
Balconies are complex building elements comprising multiple interconnected systems. These systems include waterproofing membranes, drainage systems, tile finishes, screeds, balustrades, structural concrete and junction details.
Failure in any one of these areas can allow water ingress and contribute to wider building defects.
Assessment of waterproofing performance, drainage, tile condition, moisture pathways, structural integrity and sliding doors.
Identification of the cause of failure before recommendations are made.
Detailed documentation outlining required rectification works, waterproofing requirements, structural repairs, drainage improvements and project sequencing.
