FAQ

Waterproofing inspections in Morayfield: common questions

Which Australian Standard governs a Morayfield bathroom membrane?

We check wet areas against the National Construction Code and AS 3740.

How long to get the report?

The membrane needs to dry completely before tilers lay the tiles. Start looking for a builder inspection as soon as you schedule your waterproofing work.

Are your balconies covered?

We check roof cladding and membrane surfaces.

How does a puddle flange work?

A floor waste fitting that has a flange to allow the drainage pipe to connect. Water tracking under tiles can cause serious damage.

Is pinhole damage repairable?

Timber pests are often hidden under flooring, so checking the subfloor before laying tiles is important.

Is the inspection quick?

Allow roughly an hour on a typical Morayfield house.
