Solutions for Leaky Homes in Auckland NZ

 

Do you suspect you have a leaky home? Even homes built relatively recently can develop weathertightness issues. The main causes include:

  • Age as building materials deteriorate over time, particularly if not properly maintained
  • Poor workmanship during the construction of the house or when materials are installed
  • Poor-quality materials
  • Physical damage

Once water gets in behind the cladding of your home, it will start to cause damage. This includes rotting the structure of your home.

This can be exacerbated if there is no ventilation behind your cladding as the water will become trapped. This speeds up the rotting process and can result in mould developing, which can be detrimental to your health.

What is a Leaky Home and How Can You Check?

 

A leaky home is one where there is water getting in from outside. This is different to leaks that occur because of faulty plumbing. With a leaky home, rainwater gets in, usually through faulty cladding or problems with your roof.

How do you know if you have a leaky home? Our experts can investigate, but there are signs you can look out for including:

  • Sagging ceilings
  • Uneven floor surfaces
  • Appearance of mould or fungi as well as musty smells
  • Signs of screw and nail corrosion
  • Swollen architraves and skirtings
  • Discolouration of surfaces
  • Carpet that is stained or rotting

If you notice any of these things in your home, they need further investigation.

How do you repair a leaky home? The answer to this depends on two important factors:

  • The cause of the problem
  • The extent of the damage that the water has caused

Potential remedial activities include roof repairs, re-roofing, and re-cladding.

When you contact us, you will get expert advice from an experienced team, advice you can trust. Once the required remedial work is identified and agreed, we’ll complete it efficiently and to the highest possible standard.
