Façade & Cladding Diagnostics:
Forensic Building Envelope Testing.
Independent diagnostic investigation of high-rise and commercial building façades across Australia. We identify rain penetration pathways, debonding render, combustible cladding non-compliance (AS 1530.1), window sub-sill flashing failures, and expansion joint fatigue.
Why Modern Façades Leak and Deteriorate
Under high wind loads, rain is forced sideways into microscopic joint gaps, missing cavity flashings, and unsealed window perimeter junctions.
Window Sub-Sill Flashing Failures
Missing end-dams on sub-sill aluminium extrusions allow internal water drainage from window tracks to discharge straight into the cavity insulation and internal plasterboard.
Combustible Cladding Non-Compliance
Polyethylene (PE) core aluminium composite panels (ACP) and expanded polystyrene (EPS) render systems that breach NCC 2022 fire standards and require council-ordered remediation.
Expansion Joint Sealant Breakdown
UV degradation, cohesive tearing, and improper backing rod installation in polyurethane/silicone articulation joints causing continuous moisture ingress along floor levels.
Controlled Water Pressure & Acoustic Diagnostics
We utilize calibrated field spray bar assemblies and acoustic sounding hammers to systematically isolate individual cladding panels, glazing gaskets, and weep holes to replicate wind-driven rain under controlled conditions.
