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