💧 HIGH MOISTURE READINGS: WHAT IS YOUR BUILDING HIDING?

High moisture readings during a Building & Pest Inspection can be an important warning sign of hidden defects, water ingress or potential damage.

Our inspectors use specialised moisture detection equipment to investigate areas throughout a property, including bathrooms, kitchens, walls, ceilings, windows and skirting boards.

🔎 Common causes of elevated moisture readings include:

🚿 Waterproofing failures – Defective membranes or deteriorated seals in bathrooms and wet areas.

🚰 Plumbing leaks – Leaking pipes, fittings or concealed plumbing connections.

🏠 Roof and ceiling leaks – Damaged roof coverings, defective flashings, blocked gutters or deteriorated seals allowing water to enter roof spaces and affect ceilings.

🌧️ Water pe*******on – Failed window seals, external wall defects or water entering through vulnerable building junctions.

💦 Rising damp – Moisture migrating through masonry or other building materials.

🌫️ Condensation – Poor ventilation and elevated humidity contributing to moisture accumulation.

🧱 Previous water damage – Materials retaining moisture following an earlier leak or water ingress event.

Why does it matter?

Excess moisture can contribute to timber deterioration, damaged building materials, fungal or mould growth and conditions conducive to timber pest activity, including termites and wood rot.

A high moisture reading is an indication, not a diagnosis. Identifying the likely source and recommending further investigation where necessary is an important part of a comprehensive inspection.

This was a RE Inspection after the builders had supposedly fixed the huge number of defects throughout the property. Clearly they don’t care, just want to be done with it and take the clients money. THIS is why we have concerns around the current state of the building industry in Qld!

💙 WE’RE JOINING THE LONG RUN! 💙

This September, our owners Scott & Emily are getting out there and running to raise much-needed funds for prostate cancer research and awareness.

🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️ We’re already 50km+ in combined and there’s plenty more running to come!

But we’re not stopping there…

💙 Informed Building Inspections is also donating to the cause for EVERY inspection we complete throughout September.

So every inspection booked with us this month is helping us give back and support an incredibly important cause.

And Thursday 10 September is DOUBLE DONATION DAY! 🙌

That means every dollar donated is doubled *up to $75k — making it the perfect day to get behind the cause.

If you can, we’d absolutely love your support. ❤️

Every donation, every kilometre and every bit of support helps.

Let’s get behind The Long Run and help make a difference. 💙
