Wet area rectification is the most expensive defect category in a new home, because putting it right after tiling means dismantling the room. The Leppington wet area work we hold is general membrane coverage photography rather than a catalogue of failures, which is a fair outcome and worth stating plainly. What we look for does not change: coverage and height, terminations, falls to the waste, and the junctions where a continuous layer stops being continuous.

Usually a damp skirting or a stain on the wall of the next room, a year or two in. By then the remedy is removing tiles and screed.
We look at whatever is still exposed and record which areas had already been covered.
