    Tricky Leaks

      Hi Jimmy, I have just read your article from My Domain dated 19 06 2010 on the subject of Wooden balconies. it prompted me to write to pass on my experiences with leaking balconies. This is quickly becoming a huge issue, particularly in apartment buildings. The surprising thing is that the buildings are not that old. We are finding they can be anywhere from 2 to 7 years old. Apparently because they are multi dwellings there is no recourse to the builders.

       

      This is not just an issue with apartments but also with single dwelling properties. The clients are desperate to find a solution and they die when we tell them the only way to correctly fix it is to rip it up and start again. Most clients want a quick patch job, we will not patch or seal. We will fix it or leave it. 

       

      I would be interested to hear stories from people with this problem. By the way, we are based in Melbourne.Smile
