Inner West suburb of late-Victorian terraces and small-scale 2005-2018 strata infill.
Rising damp and salt damp across the original 1880s-1910s brick stock, frequently where ground levels have risen with successive landscaping. Facade rectification on the period parapets, balcony rectification across the newer infill.
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.
Rising damp occurs when groundwater moves upward through porous building materials.
As moisture rises, salts are carried into walls and finishes. Over time, these salts contribute to paint failure, plaster deterioration, efflorescence, mould growth and material degradation.
Assessment of moisture levels, building condition and contributing factors.
Identification of the source of moisture movement.
Preparation of a detailed remediation strategy.
Damp Proof Course Installation, Moisture Management Systems, Drainage Improvements, Salt Remediation, Internal Reinstatement, Building Envelope Improvements.
Long-term solutions designed to reduce moisture-related deterioration and improve building performance.
Send through the issue with photos. Thomas will walk the building in Annandale, investigate the source, and put a detailed scope of works together. Inner West coverage.
