Water Leak Detection & Rectification

Stop Chasing Leaks — Find and Fix the Real Source

REQUEST A QUOTE

Track down mystery leaks. Prove what's causing them. Fix them permanently.

At Integrity Projects, we investigate, test, diagnose and permanently remedy water ingress problems in high-rise buildings across Sydney. Using rope access, we get direct access to window perimeters, wall cavity flashings, movement joints, cladding interfaces, and balustrade penetrations to find exactly where water is getting in — then fix it properly the first time, without scaffolding or road closures.

20+ Years Experience

Professional leak detection isn't about guessing or blanket sealing — it's about finding the real source, proving it with controlled testing, then making targeted repairs that actually work rather than some poor repair work that we’ve seen such as sealing up weep holes.

How We Find Leaks

Visual Investigation

  • Get close quarters access to inspect seals and joints
  • Use moisture meters and thermal imaging to find wet areas
  • Check for obvious damage, gaps, and failure patterns
  • Removing sections of block & brickwork to investigate cavities
  • Document everything with photos and exact locations

Controlled Water Testing

  • Targeted spray testing at suspect areas
  • Replicate wind-driven rain conditions safely
  • Confirm exact entry points before any repairs
  • Test one area at a time to avoid confusion

Interface & Junction Checks

  • Inspect window frame connections
  • Test movement joint performance
  • Check cladding panel interfaces
  • Verify balustrade penetration sealing

Drainage System Assessment

  • Clear blocked overflows and downpipes
  • Check water collection and discharge paths
  • Identify overflow problems causing facade wetting
  • Test balcony drainage and fall adequacy

What We Fix

Failed Sealants & Joints

  • Remove old, failed perimeter sealants
  • Clean and prepare surfaces properly
  • Install appropriate joint products correctly
  • Match manufacturer specifications for durability

Flashings & Water Diverters

  • Fabricate and install custom flashings
  • Add end dams to prevent water tracking
  • Install diverters to redirect water safely
  • Fix inadequate weather protection details

Cladding & Panel Problems

  • Adjust panels creating water paths
  • Restore proper weep holes and breathers
  • Close unintended gaps and openings
  • Fix attachment issues causing movement

Balcony & Balustrade Leaks

  • Seal around posts, base plates, and brackets
  • Stop water tracking into wall cavities
  • Fix penetration details properly
  • Integrate with structural repairs as needed

Drainage Repairs

  • Clear blocked outlets and overflows
  • Repair split downpipe sections
  • Fix poor drainage causing ponding
  • Restore proper falls and collection

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you just reseal everything, or find the actual source first?

We diagnose first. Visual checks, moisture testing, and controlled water testing confirm exactly where water enters before we fix anything.

No. Testing is controlled and localized at specific areas. We protect interiors and coordinate closely with building management.

Absolutely. We regularly execute consultant test plans and provide detailed photo documentation for sign-off.

Sealant replacement, cavity / flashings, water diverters, weep hole covers (allow water to drain but not get in from wind driven rain), panel adjustments, Crack injection works, waterproof membrane application (Dulux Accredited), drainage fixes — whatever’s needed to permanently stop the leak.

Yes. Recent weather often helps identify active leak paths. We schedule safely around weather and coordinate building access.

We re-test all repaired areas with the same controlled methods used for diagnosis, then document the results.

We are also licenced builders, and we know how buildings are constructed unlike some competitors.
