The Importance of Using Trained Professionals to Identify Water Damage, Mould, and Rising Damp

At 1300 FINDLEAK, we specialize in identifying internal building leaks that cause water damage, mould, and rising damp. Our expertise, combined with advanced technology such as thermal imaging, moisture surveys, water testing, and visual inspections, enables us to accurately diagnose and resolve complex leak issues. Here’s why it's crucial to rely on trained professionals to tackle these problems effectively.

Water Damage:

Water damage can compromise the structural integrity of your property, leading to costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Identifying the root cause of water damage is essential to prevent further deterioration. For instance, at 685 Casuarina Way, Casuarina NSW 2487, we conducted a comprehensive inspection to identify the source of water damage and mold in the cabinet located in the entry to apartment 5. The inspection revealed that the membrane of the boundary wall had failed, and the expansion joints were fractured and perished. This failure allowed water to seep into the cabinet, causing damage and mold growth. By accurately diagnosing the issue, we provided the necessary information to address the root cause and prevent future damage.

Mould:

Mould growth is not only unsightly but also poses significant health risks, especially for individuals with respiratory conditions. Mould thrives in damp environments, making it crucial to identify and eliminate the source of moisture. In the same case at 685 Casuarina Way, our inspection with thermal imaging and moisture surveys highlighted the failure of the membrane and fractured expansion joints as the primary contributors to mold growth. Addressing these structural issues is vital to eliminate mould and ensure a healthy living environment.

Rising Damp:

Rising damp occurs when moisture from the ground rises through the walls and floors of a building. This can lead to structural damage, paint and plaster deterioration, and an unhealthy indoor environment. At 62 Garrick St, Coolangatta QLD 4225, we identified the source of water damage between floorboard laps in the hallway. Our thorough inspection included thermal imaging, moisture surveys, water testing, and visual inspections of all plumbing, waste sleeves, traps, and wall cavities. The investigation revealed severe water damage in the cabinet doors, architraves, and skirting housing the Hot Water System (HWS). The Pressure and Temperature Relief (PTR) valve of the HWS failed the test, contributing to the water damage. Additionally, the absence of a tray under the HWS exacerbated the issue, leading to rising damp in the surrounding areas.
