Building Materials & Leaky Homes Claims

Building materials & leaky home claims

We have been involved in many leaky home claims and Weathertight Homes Resolution Service cases. Scientists can assess the properties of building materials and mechanisms of water infiltration.

We can also provide litigation support and expert witness services.

•

We can assess:

Number and thickness of coats (e.g. paint, waterproofing membranes)

Type of material used

Type of failure observed and failure mechanism

Whether materials used comply with specifications and standards

Water infiltration mechanisms

•

Sampling

We can collect samples directly from the site or analyse samples on an as-received basis.
