Waterproofing issue

Sarah noticed corner of ceiling leaking. The consultant builder assesses the situation and recommends lowering the gutter to improve flow, checking the downpipe for blockages, and inserting a ceiling vent as a discharge point. "These steps will prevent future back-flow and keep the roof protected," the consultant advises, ensuring a lasting solution.

Foundation Issue

Mark J was concerned about her home’s sinking foundation. The consultant builder recommended installing an adjustable steel pier system for long-term stability. "We'll also patch the gaps with non-shrink concrete at 65 MPa for added strength," the consultant explained. With this approach, Sarah's foundation would be secure, ensuring no further movement.

Investment Property

David, an investment property owner, noticed signs of concrete cancer on his building. The consultant builder suggested contractor with detailing: using an anti-rust steel primer for bonding and to prevent further corrosion. “We’ll repair it section by section with 60 MPa structural grout,” he advised. The consultant explained the process: "Apply the patch concrete evenly, ensuring full coverage, and keep it moist during curing for optimal strength and longevity." With these steps, David’s property would be restored and protected from further damage.

Basement waterproofing

Lisa noticed moisture seeping into her basement during the rainy season. The consultant builder introduced a negative pressure membrane to stop the water penetration. "Apply it directly to the interior walls, and you can find the product at most hardware stores," the builder advised. After following the steps and painting the walls, Lisa proudly said, "My garage is dry now, and it looks brand new!"

Investment / tile issue

James received a notice from his property agent about popped tiles in the living and kitchen areas of his investment apartment, caused by missing expansion joints during installation. The consultant suggested choosing matching tiles and using a flexible polyurethane sealant to prevent future damage. "This will help you save on repairs," the consultant explained. Since it was a strata property, James provided the materials and allowed access for the work. With the consultant's advice, the repair was completed smoothly and within budget.

Cracked wall / foundation issue

Andy noticed a cracked wall due to foundation movement in his home. The consultant explained that natural ground movement would continue, but instead of a costly bracing option, he suggested a budget-friendly solution using a trade listed on the platform. "You can use steel braces and epoxy filler to stabilize the wall," the consultant advised, adding that the total cost would be under $1,000. Though not a permanent fix, as ground shifts would still occur, James was happy to preserve his brick wall without replacing it with a flexible fence.
