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.
Waterproofing systems form part of a larger building envelope. When a membrane fails, water rarely appears where it enters.
Instead, moisture can travel through slabs, wall cavities, screeds and structural elements before surfacing elsewhere in the building.
Assessment of moisture pathways, membrane condition and contributing defects.
Identification of the source of failure.
Preparation of a detailed remediation strategy.
Removal of failed systems and installation of compliant waterproofing solutions.
Long-term strategies designed to improve durability and 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.
