The Hidden Cost of Cheap Repairs
Your home is one of your biggest assets. Over time, it will naturally require maintenance and repairs. Unfortunately, too often, homeowners fall into the trap of hiring cheap and inexperienced tradespeople or handymen. Instead of solving the issue, these shortcuts often mask the problem, allowing damage to simmer below the surface.
The result? What could have been a manageable repair spirals into a much bigger—and costlier—issue.
Common Issues in Brisbane Homes
* Water damage is one of the most pervasive problems in Brisbane homes, especially during wet summers. Left unaddressed, water ingress can lead to:
* Rotting timber structures
* Mould growth
* Weakening of structural elements
Example 1: Wet Carpet and Wall Damage
The first image highlights the kind of issues we often see: water ingress at the base of walls. In this instance, moisture from an adjacent AC unit caused wet carpets and walls in the media room. Left untreated, this could lead to mould growth and structural decay.
Example 2: Timber Rot
The second image shows rot hidden beneath a coat of dark paint. While the surface appeared fine, the sunken face of the timber decking was a clear sign of deeper damage. Using a wood spike, we confirmed widespread rot throughout the structure. This is exactly the kind of damage that inexperienced repairers often miss.
