Common Damp Problems in West Beach
| Problem | Usual work |
|---|---|
| Sea-facing balconies and sliding doors leaking in winter storms | Balcony waterproofing and resealing doors and windows |

| Mould in homes closed up for weeks at a time | Mould treatment and ventilation |
| Water collecting against the house in winter | French drains |
Local Conditions Contractors Should Plan For
- Sea air. Salt and wind-driven rain wear down paint, sealants and window seals faster near the sea.
- Apartment blocks. Facades, roofs and many balconies are common property, so the body corporate usually appoints the contractor.
- Holiday homes. Houses closed up for weeks build up condensation and mould. Ventilation helps.
- Low-lying, sandy ground. Shallow ground water in winter affects lower walls, floors and anything below ground.
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.
