Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Newer homes. Damp in newer homes more often comes from showers, balconies, roof details and seals than from rising damp.
- Estates and complexes. Many need HOA or body corporate approval, contractor access forms and set work hours.
- Wind. Strong winds drive rain into walls, doors and windows, and blow sand into balcony outlets.
What to Send for an Accurate Quote
- Suburb, estate or building name.
- Where the damp shows, how high and how big.
- Whether it gets worse after rain.
- House, townhouse, flat or commercial property.
- Photos inside and outside the affected wall.
