Remediation · Balconies & Podiums
Balconies and podiums are external slabs that people use daily, exposed to weather and full of junctions. DYME coordinates the structured investigation and rectification of the defects that concentrate there.
Balconies and podiums bring together waterproofing, falls and drainage, thresholds to the interior, balustrade fixings, slab edges and finishes. A defect in any one of these often shows up as water in the apartment or car park below, ponding, cracked or drummy tiles, corroding balustrade posts or spalling to the slab edge.
Because balconies are usually part of an individual lot while the slab is common property, responsibility and access can be complicated, particularly in strata buildings.
DYME reviews the available reports and coordinates targeted investigation with the consultant, which may include water testing, opening up at thresholds and drains, and assessment of balustrade fixings and slab-edge condition by the engineer.
The scope sets out the extent of finishes removal, the waterproofing and drainage treatment, threshold and balustrade details, any concrete repair and the reinstatement of finishes, together with the access and staging strategy across the affected units.
Works are staged by unit, elevation or podium zone so that residents retain access and only a defined area is open at any time. Waterproofing, tiling, concrete repair and balustrade trades are coordinated with inspection hold points, and each area is made good and handed back before the next begins.
For a Sydney or NSW balcony or podium enquiry, provide the building location, the number of balconies or podium area affected, any reports, access considerations, budget range and required timeframe.
