How to spot a waterproofing issue this wet season!

As we start to move away from that nice, warm summer weather and into the cooler, wetter climates of autumn, we begin to notice an increase in clients with a waterproofing issue in their buildings. So the question is, how do you spot a waterproofing issue? 

According to Tourism Australia, the months of April, May and June are some of the wettest times the city of Sydney will experience. Therefore, it is imperative that building owners rake appropriate measures to ensure that their buildings' waterproofing system is effective to prevent any damage to the buildings structural integrity. 

Signs to help you spot an issue: 
The following signs will help you to determine whether your waterproofing system is in working order or not:

• Water stains and seepage. 
• Cracks in floors and tiles. 
• Dry rot. 
• Mould or Mildew. 
• Corrosion staining. 
• Distorted Panelling. 
• Stained Cracking on walls, ceilings and floors. 

If you notice one or more of these defects in your building you may require one of our experienced consultants to inspect the condition of your building. You can get in contact with us by simply emailing info@bellmont.net, we'd be more than happy to help you prepare your building for the wet season!
