Rising Damp & Moisture Management in Randwick

Eastern Suburbs strata postcode mixing 1970s walk-ups, 1990s mid-rises, and 2010-2020 boutique infill.

Rising Damp & Moisture Management across Randwick buildings

Three distinct build waves all surfacing different remedial profiles at once. 1970s walk-ups: rising damp and facade. 1990s mid-rises: balcony and concrete cancer. 2010s boutique infill: planter-box failures already showing inside 10 years.

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.

Understanding Rising Damp

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.
