Water Ingress Risk Factors
Flawed or Aged Sealant on High Rise Buildings
One thin layer of waterproofing sealant is all that’s protecting your building from millions of dollars in structural damage. In older buildings, the sealant is worn by time, temperature expansion and contraction, and weather. In a new build with contemporary materials, applying sealant requires a specialist skill – so the industry is seeing a steep rise in sealant problems on brand-new buildings. Faulty or deteriorated sealant allows moisture to enter the facade, risking concrete spalling (concrete cancer), corrosion, water damage to walls, damp and mould-related health issues and the serious risk of crumbling debris falling from height onto passers-by.
A very thin layer protects your building and the safety of tenants and the wider public – so ensure yours is expertly applied! Trust Gecko with your high rise waterproofing.
Our Approach to High Rise Waterproofing
- Gecko Rope Access technicians assess issues with the sealant.
- We develop a comprehensive plan for the removal and replacement of the existing sealant layer.
- We identify existing structural or facade issues and make recommendations for concrete repair mortars and other remedial work.
- We provide both technical and aesthetic recommendations, ensuring that your remedial work enhances the value of your property for decades to come.
- We work with you to schedule a timeline for repairs, providing a detailed post-inspection to ensure an optimal result.
Roof, Window and Water Infrastructure Leaks
Whether it’s a single incident like a burst pipe or weather event, a problem with your plumbing or fire safety infrastructure, or simply wear and tear on your roof, a water leak can lead to serious and costly issues. From the cost of low tenancy to major structural repairs, detecting and repairing a water leak is a matter of great urgency.
Our Approach to High Rise Water Leaks
- Gecko Rope Access technicians use the latest technology to detect the source of water ingress.
- We determine any damage already caused by the leak and any additional potential leak sites.
- We make recommendations for repair or replacement of pipes or roofing (in consultation with your specialist commercial plumbers, roof plumbers or fire safety consultants) as well as managing the existing water ingress.
- We carry out replacement and/or repairs (including any additional damage) as required.
- We provide a detailed post-inspection report so you can feel confident that the incident has been managed.
Don’t let a little water turn into a huge repair bill.
