Showing results 1-12 of 81
Framing outline is visible on the cladding on cold mornings
-
Condensation is forming on cladding where there is insufficient or no insulation

Timber slat decks – rot to deck joists/bearers
-
The timber treatment was not adequate
-
The timber is at the end of its serviceable life
-
Moisture remains trapped in the junctions of framing
Timber slat decks – deterioration of decking/cladding
-
Decking and framing was installed hard against the building cladding
-
Accumulated dirt and debris is trapped against the cladding
-
There are leaks into the wall framing at fixing points
Timber slat decks – water leaking into house
-
Water is tracking along the bolts used to fix the deck to the wall cladding/framing
-
The decking/framing is hard against wall cladding
-
The decking is blocking drainage from a drained and vented cavity
-
Deck framing or decking is blocking drainage slots in brick veneer
-
Where deck joists are cantilevered out from the wall water is tracking along the joists into the building
Waterproof decks – deterioration under cantilevered balcony
-
Inadequate drainage from the balcony
-
Damage or penetrations through the decking membrane
-
Water entry into the balcony floor and/or wall framing
Waterproof decks – the deck is springy
-
There is damage to the substrate and/or framing due to water entry through the membrane or through adjacent wall claddings
-
The substrate material is not thick enough to span the rafters/joists
-
The particleboard used as a substrate has deteriorated
Waterproof decks – bubbles under the membrane
-
Poor adhesion of the membrane to the substrate
-
Glue misses (the membrane was never fully adhered when installed)
-
Moisture is trapped under the membrane
-
There is moisture in the roof space below
-
For liquid applied membranes the application had not cured properly before subsequent coats were applied
-
The framing and/or substrate moisture content was too high when the membrane was installed
Tiled waterproof deck – water leaks
-
There is no waterproof membrane behind the tiles
-
The waterproof membrane was damaged during tiling
-
The membrane was poorly applied
-
Tiles were applied before the liquid applied membrane had cured
-
Water is ponding on the surface and seeping thorough membrane joints
-
Grouted or sealant filed joints have failed
-
The membrane was not designed to have tiles glued to it
