Recognising Early Signs of a Leaky Home
Even small issues can be a sign of something more serious. Look out for:
- Staining or bubbling on paint and interior walls
- Musty smells or consistent dampness
- Warped skirting boards, timber swelling or soft spots
- Hairline cracks near windows or external joins
- Water pooling around deck edges or cladding junctions
Ignoring these signs can lead to major structural damage. We recommend a professional assessment at the first sign of concern.

Where necessary we use our licenced builders to complete remedial works including removal and replacement of framing/cladding. Once structurally sound the rest of our team will finish it off. From installing gib, plastering and painting, no job is too big or too small.

Preventing Water Damage
Preventing water damage starts with proactive maintenance and early intervention. Key steps include ensuring your cladding remains watertight, keeping flashings and sealants in good condition, and maintaining proper drainage around the property. Regular house washing removes mould and grime that can trap moisture, while timely crack repairs and repainting protect surfaces from UV and rain exposure. Attention should also be given to rooflines, gutters, and movement joints, as small failures in these areas can lead to gradual moisture ingress. A well-maintained exterior is your first defence against costly internal framing rot, mould growth, and long-term structural deterioration.
Leaky Home Repair FAQ's
Look for signs like musty smells, stained walls or ceilings, soft skirting boards, or bubbling paint. These can all point to hidden moisture issues.
Yes - for any structural, cladding, or framing repairs, a Licensed Building Practitioner (LBP) is required to meet building code standards and maintain compliance.
Common causes include poor exterior detailing, failed sealants, inadequate flashing, and a lack of regular maintenance. Over time, this can compromise the watertightness of your home.
In some cases, targeted repairs and resealing are enough. However, if the damage has spread or the cladding system is failing, partial or full recladding may be necessary.
Fix leaks immediately, keep the cladding system sealed, and carry out routine checks. Prevention hinges on maintaining watertightness and catching small issues early.
