Professional leak detection, new waterproofing applications and expert remedial waterproofing repairs.
Leak Detection - Inspections - Reports
Professional leak detection inspections with detailed reporting and photographic evidence.
A leak can be difficult to locate — and the visible signs of water damage don't always indicate where the problem actually starts.
Water can travel through walls, floors and building materials before becoming visible, making it important to investigate the source rather than simply treating the area where the damage appears.
At Sunshine Coast Waterproofing, we provide professional leak detection inspections for bathrooms, showers and other wet areas where water ingress, moisture or suspected waterproofing failure has been identified.
Our inspections are designed to investigate the reported issue, assess the affected areas and document our findings in a detailed inspection report.
Our Inspection Process
Understand the Problem
Before attending site, we establish what has been reported and gather relevant information about the issue.
This may include:
Where the leak or moisture has been observed
When the problem first occurred
Whether the issue is intermittent or ongoing
Previous repairs or maintenance
Any relevant history of the bathroom or wet area
This information helps us understand what we are investigating before we arrive.
Inspect the Affected Area
We conduct a detailed inspection of the relevant bathroom, shower, wet area or other location.
We assess visible surfaces, junctions, fixtures, penetrations, drainage points and surrounding areas for conditions that may contribute to water ingress.
Investigate & Test
Where appropriate, additional testing and moisture assessment may be undertaken to assist in understanding the reported issue.
The type and extent of testing will depend on the individual circumstances and accessibility of the area.
Document Our Findings
Photographs are taken throughout the inspection to document relevant observations and areas of concern.
Rather than simply providing a conclusion, we aim to provide supporting evidence showing what was observed during the inspection.
Prepare Your Report
Following the inspection, our findings are compiled into a detailed inspection report.
The report documents the relevant site information, observations, photographic evidence, assessment and recommendations.
Provide a Clear Path Forward
Where possible, our report provides clear recommendations regarding the appropriate next steps.
This may include monitoring, further investigation, maintenance, targeted repairs or remedial waterproofing, depending on the findings.
Where remedial waterproofing is required, our licensed and insured team can discuss the appropriate repair solution.
From Leak Detection to Remedial Waterproofing
We Don't Just Identify the Problem — We Can Help Fix It.
Where a leak investigation identifies a waterproofing-related issue, Sunshine Coast Waterproofing can provide professional remedial waterproofing solutions.
Our experienced team can assess the findings, discuss the appropriate remedial approach and provide a clear scope of works where required.
