Remedial building work refers to the maintenance and repairs that buildings, like most things, require.
This could be anything that has to do with maintaining the structure of your building, such as cracks in your walls or holes beginning to grow in your floors. These issues with your structure require the expertise of a remedial builder; they cannot be fixed by just any old handyman.
The Role of a Remedial Builder
The main responsibility of a remedial builder is to reestablish the safety, structural integrity, and strength of a structure. Depending on the building’s condition, this entails a variety of duties. Sometimes a remedial builder will carry out an initial inspection to figure out what work must be done to get the structure back to where it should be.
● Leak discovery and restoration – Our team is experienced in finding and fixing leaks in your home or commercial structure from a number of causes, such as cavity flashing, broken pipes, gutter and downpipe overflow, sewer surcharge, failing waterproof membranes, and pumps and detention tanks.
● Brick/Crack Stitching – In the event that there are brick or stonework cracks, your remedial builder not only fixes the damage but will also mend the stonework back together, reducing the likelihood of it happening again.
● Waterproofing – Your remedial builder can waterproof your building structure and develop an envelope to stop water from penetrating and damaging the surfaces.
● Concrete cancer – In order to ensure that your foundation and structure are not impacted by it, your remedial builder will investigate your concrete cancer and efficiently treat it.
● Non-invasive underpinning – Your remedial builder will employ procedures that are non-invasive and cause the least amount of interruption to improve the foundation of your building.
Why are Remedial Builders Important?
1. Structural Integrity and Viability
Through brick/crack stitching, non-invasive underpinning, the repair of concrete cancer, damaged timber (due to termites or rotting), and other structural repair procedures, remedial builders assist in restoring and maintaining the structural integrity of your building.
This is crucial for adhering to the National Construction Code established by the Australian Building Codes Board as well as for staff safety (serious structural integrity issues can result in collapses).
2. Boost your building’s market value
Remedial construction work can raise the sale and rental value of an old or neglected structure, should you decide to sell or rent it in the future. It’s in your company’s best interest to maintain the building you live or work in, whether it’s for short-term or long-term benefits, as it’s frequently your biggest asset. And this can be easily achieved through remedial builders in Sydney.
3. The Well-being of You, Your Employees, and Your Residents
Building collapse, due to structural decay, can result in injuries and fatalities. Additionally, leaking plumbing and growing humidity can cause mould to grow inside the building. Your employees may experience allergic reactions, asthma attacks, inflammation of the airways, nasal congestion, wheezing, chest tightness, coughing, and throat irritation if they breathe mould pieces or spores.
