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.
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 Newtown, investigate the source, and put a detailed scope of works together. Inner West coverage.
