    Small leaks that go unnoticed can lead to long term issues requiring major repairs. Urgent issues like flooding or a broken pipe can also occur unexpectedly. A few key challenges with water damage is that you have to find the source of the water leak then fix two things – whatever is causing the leak and the damages incurred. Many building and insurance reports identify compliance failures due to water ingress leading to mould and structural compromise. Typically, water gets soaked into wood, drywall and cracks. It can rarely dry out on it’s own and can pool or as it evaporates it leads to moisture that lingers and can: Weaken the surrounding structure. Create an environment for bacteria, mould and pests. Get into your framing materials and insulation. Cause electrical hazards, rotting, and corrosion.

    Causes of Water Damage

    Burst or Leaking Pipes

    Age, blockages, environmental factors, and weather can all lead to a pipe that leaks or bursts. Clogged gutter and downspout. Old pipes weaken over time and can be susceptible to developing cracks. Tree and plant roots can grow into a sewer line and clogged toilets and drains can put additional pressure on pipes, causing them to burst. Freezing weather can also cause pipes to rupture.

    Plumbing Issues

    In addition to pipes, the joints, hoses, faucets, and other parts of a plumbing system can leak water onto floors and behind ceilings and walls.

    Building Failures

    Roofs, doors, windows, and siding can let rainwater into a home or property.

    Broken Appliances

    Washing machines, dishwashers, refrigerators, air conditioning and hot water systems. The chances increase as the appliance ages.

    Storms and Severe Weather

    Excessive rain can raise water levels, cause localised flooding which can overflow into your home.

    Cracked, warped, or split tile flooring

    Leaking kitchen and bathroom fixtures, like sink, bathtub, and shower

    SIGNS OF WATER DAMAGE

    What to Look For:

    While very little, water exits the AG drains after rain. A large amount of water is exiting between the garage slab and the pool base. This is suggesting that water is building up against the wall and is not able to get down the AG drains which should be surrounding the perimeter of the retaining walls.

    Not only was this deck drain undersized for the large deck that flowed to it but, it was full of tile rubble from a previous attempted repair. The replacement is 2.5x as big with all new drainag

    Paula Finney

    I recently contacted ProBuilder to discuss a concern with a renovation that had been completed in 2011.

    Even after this time lapse, Jim promptly called to inspect, and agreed to send his team around to address my problem.

    Great back-up service, thanks Jim.
