Leaky Home & Weathertightness reports Christchurch
Make Your Next Move With Confidence
Some homes hide water where you cannot see it, and by the time it shows on the surface the damage is done.
If you are looking at a plaster or monolithic-clad house, a weathertightness check tells you the real risk before you commit to a property that could cost a fortune to make dry.
Is the home at risk?
Houses built or reclad through the late 1990s to mid 2000s carry the most risk, especially monolithic and plaster cladding, flush window details, enclosed decks and untreated timber framing.
Age and style are the first clues, and we know what to look for.
What We Check:
Moisture readings
Any signs of dampness or potential water ingress.
Floor levels
Uneven floors that may indicate foundation issues.*
Maintenance areas
Parts of the home that may need future attention.
External features
Visible issues on guttering, fences, paths, and driveways.
Minor defects
Cosmetic or minor issues that may need addressing.
Compliance to code
Ensuring relevant New Zealand building codes are met.
Structural integrity
Visual signs of damage, movement or weakness.
Thermal imaging when a property needs it:
Where a deeper look is warranted, thermal imaging reveals moisture, missing insulation and heat loss behind walls and ceilings that the eye cannot pick up. A sharper picture when the stakes are high.
What you get:
A clear read on the weathertightness risk, backed by photos and readings, and an honest call on whether an invasive test or a specialist opinion is worth it before you buy. We will not tell you a house is dry when we cannot prove it, and that honesty is the whole point.
