Once we have fixed the leaks, the probes then monitor for any new problems over the lifetime of the home.
From the moment I first met MDC in 2013, I have been in awe of their commitment to total professionalism in every aspect of their business. Their expertise is beyond question – they are true specialists in the area of Moisture Detection and action to be taken to lessen the probability of damage occurring. MDC radiate the feeling that to them, the client is paramount and they have always gone out of their way to assist me in considering action to be taken from time to time. I have been totally satisfied with all the work they have done for me over the 8 years I have been using them. Without question, they are my first port of call for any house Moisture issues.
If you don’t take the time to prepare a home with monolithic cladding for sale, there is a high risk of low offers or deals falling through.
Plan to achieve a higher price and smoother sales process by proving that your house is safe and dry, and by fixing the problems that make your home look risky to buyers and building inspectors.
Ian at Moisture Detection clearly has a wealth of knowledge on all topics related to building weather tightness. More importantly he had the knowledge on all the options for addressing the leaks. Those options were discussed with me and I agreed on a scope of work. Moisture Detection undertook work, at a reasonable price, to improve weather tightness (windows, barge boards, roof flashing), remove gib and inspect some areas, and inject RotStop throughout the house. Some repairs were also conducted by a registered builder. Now with annual moisture readings I have been able to correct any causes of high moisture readings and have confidence in the condition of my plaster clad home. I have no hesitation in recommending Moisture Detection to any current or potential plaster home owner.
Our clients are able to negotiate a better buying price on their home with monolithic cladding, then make them weatherproof and safe using our patented Moisture Probe technology, which pin-points the problems for more cost effective repairs and detects future leaks.

I was recommended to Moisture Detection Company by a building inspector who highly recommended their weathertightness services.
I was very impressed with the level of service and their prompt inspection to accommodate my tight timeframes to go unconditional on a contract. Another thing that impressed me was the level of information they provided, along with the solutions to fix the problem without creating a whole lot of extra expenses.
This service was exceptional and they are great communicators.
I would highly recommend Moisture Detection Company to any homeowner who needs a weathertightness inspection. I also think every plaster clad home should have moisture probes installed to ensure early detection of leaks to provide a safe and healthy home.
