Why Remedial Building Matters: Protecting Your Property from Long-Term Damage

Owning a property means dealing with inevitable wear and tear over time. Whether it’s due to changing weather, structural settling, or simply age, buildings face challenges that can lead to bigger problems if left unaddressed.

Comprehensive Remedial Building Services by Ensure Waterproofing

Remedial building is about more than just fixing what’s broken; it’s about reinforcing and safeguarding the essential elements of your property. Ensure Waterproofing offers a full suite of services designed to address common issues and keep properties in good repair. Here are some of the core services we provide to help protect your property from long-term damage:

• Cavity & Sill Flashing Repairs: Flashing is crucial in preventing water ingress, but over time, it can deteriorate and allow moisture to seep in. Properly maintained flashing prevents water damage, protecting interior walls and structural elements.
• Window & Sliding Door Repairs: Windows and doors are often points of entry for moisture and drafts. We repair and replace flashings around these areas, sealing gaps and preventing leaks that could lead to water damage.
• Stormwater & Plumbing Improvements: Addressing drainage issues is essential to prevent water from pooling around foundations. Our team manages stormwater improvements and plumbing upgrades to reduce the risk of water damage.
• Balustrade Repairs & Replacements: Balustrades are not only a safety feature but also part of the property’s visual appeal. We repair or replace damaged balustrades to ensure both safety and aesthetics.
• Fire Safety Upgrades: Fire safety is critical for any property, and our team can help bring older buildings up to current standards with targeted fire safety upgrades, protecting both occupants and the building itself.
• Protective Coatings & Structural Repairs: We apply protective coatings to enhance durability and carry out structural repairs to address underlying issues, ensuring the building remains strong and resilient.
• Expansion Joint Works: Expansion joints accommodate a building’s natural movement. Over time, these joints need maintenance to keep them functioning effectively and prevent cracking or other damage.

With all these services, Ensure Waterproofing is committed to providing high-quality workmanship backed by professional expertise. Our team is certified in the latest remedial building techniques and products, ensuring every project meets strict standards.

Pro tip from Ensure Waterproofing: If your building shows signs of wear or water damage, addressing it early can save you from bigger problems down the track. Our licensed professionals have the qualifications needed to handle a range of remedial building services with precision and care.

Ensuring Compliance with NSW Remedial Building Regulations

In New South Wales, remedial building work on multi-residential properties (Class 2 buildings) needs to follow specific standards set by the Design and Building Practitioners Act 2020 (DBP Act). This legislation ensures that all remedial work on these buildings meets strict safety and quality requirements to protect the people living and working within them. NSW Fair Trading guidelines on remedial building work explain the essentials of these regulations and practitioner obligations.

At Ensure Waterproofing, we take these requirements seriously, using licensed professionals who understand the DBP Act standards. This means all our work is done with the highest attention to safety and compliance, giving you peace of mind that your property is protected for the long term.

Here’s how we ensure compliance:

• Licensed Practitioners: Our team includes fully licensed practitioners with qualifications that meet NSW Fair Trading licensing requirements.
• Documented, Regulated Designs: For every project, we create detailed plans that outline the scope and standards for the work, so you know what’s happening every step of the way.
• Compliance Declarations: At the end of each job, we provide compliance declarations to confirm that the work meets NSW standards, so you can rest assured that your property is in full compliance.

By following these protocols, Ensure Waterproofing not only addresses your property’s current needs but also ensures you’re set for the future with safe, regulated work.

Pro tip from Ensure Waterproofing: Staying on top of NSW’s building standards and compliance is essential for property owners and managers. For more on remedial building regulations in NSW, check out the Fair Trading guidelines.
