"We are .. grateful for the peace of mind we now have knowing that our home is watertight. The detection system has given us the means to address any water-tightness issues that may arise as our home gets older before any significant damage or deterioration occurs" TARSHA HAZLEMAN |

With the Mdu System, you will know the state of your building wall moisture levels. It will give you either confirmation that your house moisture levels are ok, or provide clear evidence of the areas that require attention.
The Mdu System is the most advanced non-destructive on-going house moisture assessment service. Based on the Mdu Probe and associated analysis, it allows homeowners and inspectors/builders to effectively assess and analyse the moisture conditions inside walls at any stage in the building's life with no damage - giving you the information you need to help make key decisions on a building's assessment, maintenance and repair requirements.
Our clients have said they experience peace of mind upon having the Mdu System in their home. They said once the Mdu System was installed, they either had their worries laid to rest or were able to take steps to sort it out.
Even homeowners who got bad news were grateful the waiting and anxiety was over so they could move forward. Installing the Mdu System into your home can give you peace of mind about the state of your building's wall moisture - now and into the future. |

| Remove Stigma from your building when Selling |

|

“… we are convinced your reports… and the fact that there was a system installed… for early detection of any future problems was a major factor in the sale being made.” PETER BRADSHAW |
| |
|
| |
The Mdu System is non-destructive and unobtrusive when installed - unlike many other methods of assessing buildings. |
| |
|
| |
No holes in the cladding means no stigma affecting your home - so there won't be a drop in the price as a result of the investigation process. The discrete nature of the probes means there are no obvious signs of a house assessment - and the protection and proof of condition given by an on-going monitoring system can add value to your home. If you are selling your home, an accurate picture of the condition of your home can remove any stigma associated with the leaky building syndrome, can add value to your home, and will quell people’s fears at sale time. |

| Know THE FACTS when buying |
| |
|
| |
If you are buying a home, it is important to get a comprehensive, accurate assessment of the condition of the house, including weathertightness performance. |
| |
|
| |
|
| Have Key Evidence when Applying for a Code of Compliance Certificates |
| |
|
| |
If you are applying for a Code Compliance Certificate, it is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to provide the evidence the building complies - not the Council. The Mdu System provides the most robust evidence of your building's moisture levels - which is crucial information when proving your building's weathertightness. This is all done with little to no damage on your building. Settle for nothing less. |

| Find Leaks Before Damage Occurs |

With the Mdu System: |
| a tap leaks and rot develops unnoticed |
the leak is brought to the homeowner's attention - and can be fixed. |
 |
 |
| |
|
|
| |
With the Mdu Monitoring System, leaks can be identified EARLY, BEFORE damage occurs to the house as a result of it. The source of the moisture can then be addressed, and the Mdu System can show if the repairs are successful or not.
The need to find leaks early is especially important for houses with untreated timber - where speed in finding, stopping and drying a leaking area is of critical importance to prevent rot that could severely damage buildings. |
| |
| |
| Get Accurate Readings |
| |
| |
|
 |
With the Mdu Probes, the Mdu System takes moisture measurements from deep within your walls, so you know you are getting the most accurate non-destructive moisture readings available. Other non-destructive and surface methods cannot do this. Non-invasive moisture meter readings give only the indication of moisture or not - and readings can be interfered with from metal fixings and flashings, materials of differing densities, temerature and environmental conditions. |
| |
|
| Only direct moisture measurements can give accurate accounts of moisture in the walls - crucial for decision making. |

| Get A Clear Picture of your Building |
| |
|

Your Mdu System House Report gives a clear assessment of the moisture levels in your house. This means you will be able to make better decisions on what to do next. If you are unsure where maintenance is required, the Mdu System can provide an overall view of moisture around your home and highlight areas where maintenance is essential. This is different from just aesthetic maintenance - it is maintenance of the structural integrity of the house. |
| |
|
| |
| On-Going Readings are Easy |
| |
|
| |
 |
Since Mdu Probes are permanently installed, future readings are quick and easy. It is highly recommended that your Mdu Probes are read at regular intervals as part of the Mdu Home Monitoring System. For every Mdu Reading you will receive an updated Mdu House Report. |
| |
|
|
| |
On-going readings are CRUCIAL to understand moisture levels in buildings - as moisture levels can vary SIGNIFICANTLY between seasons and wet weather cycles. The level of monitoring your home needs will depend on your circumstance. For instance if your home is undergoing maintenance and repairs, readings before and after repairs are carried out are important to assess that the maintenance carried out was successful. MDC recommends regular moisture readings.
If there is no activity, on-going monitoring will highlight any areas requiring maintenance in the future - so you can find and fix leaks before damage gets caused. It will also provide an excellent record of the house's moisture levels over time - which will have considerable value when you sell your home. |

With the Mdu System, there's no damage made to your home, so there's no unsightly holes to live with. Your home doesn't get the obvious 'leaky building' stigma attached to it as people can't see any holes. |
|
| |
|
| |
When looking for a new home, it means that we can perform a thorough pre-assessment with no impact on the current owner. When the Mdu System assesses your home no holes are made in the cladding or gib board. No holes means no holes to repair. No holes means no concerns of releasing potentially harmful fungi spores into your home.
Most other home inspection processes requiring accurate moisture readings leave the building with ugly 'fang marks' or cladding cut-outs. Worse still is if their readings are not accurate. The Mdu System avoids all this and at the same time provides for ongoing monitoring for the life of the building. |
