Water ingress occurs when unwanted water enters a building or structure through areas such as cracks in concrete, failed waterproofing membranes, construction joints, roof areas, balconies, facades, basements or service penetrations. While the first sign may be a visible leak, water stain or damp area, the actual point of entry can be some distance away.
Water ingress can affect all types of properties and structures, from apartment complexes and commercial buildings to civil infrastructure and residential homes. Common signs include recurring leaks, damp walls or ceilings, mould, peeling or bubbling finishes, water staining and unexplained moisture. In larger buildings and structures, water ingress may also be discovered during routine maintenance, defect inspections or following deterioration of existing waterproofing systems.
Finding the source is important because repairing the area where water becomes visible may not resolve the underlying problem. Water can move through concrete, wall cavities, joints and other building elements before appearing elsewhere, making the cause difficult to identify without a thorough investigation.

With more than 43 years of experience in waterproofing and remedial services, Remseal brings practical industry knowledge to every water ingress investigation.
Our team has experience investigating water ingress across commercial buildings, strata properties, civil structures and residential properties. We understand that water doesn’t always appear where it enters, which is why we assess the surrounding structure and waterproofing systems rather than focusing only on the visible damage.
By combining specialist testing equipment with decades of hands-on experience, we can provide clear findings and practical recommendations for the next stage of the project. If remedial works are required, Remseal can also take the project from investigation through to repair.
