Building Leaks

Water damaged buildings are a widespread issue across Auckland, particularly in properties built during the leaky building era of the 1990s and 2000s. Water damaged building symptoms include peeling paint, cracked cladding, musty smells, swollen skirting boards, and visible mould growth. If you’ve noticed any of these signs, building leak detection in Auckland can identify where water is getting in before the damage gets worse.

A common question we hear is: can a building inspection detect leaking cladding? Standard building inspections often miss hidden moisture issues, which is why we use specialist tools including infrared cameras, moisture meters, and invasive testing. Water damage where there’s no building paper behind the cladding is particularly common in older Auckland builds, where moisture barriers were either missing or poorly installed.
