Moisture Probe Monitoring and Plaster House Maintenance for Monolithic Cladding
Keep Monolithic Houses Safe and Dry
All houses require regular maintenance but plaster house maintenance is different. Monolithic cladding, badly treated timber, no cavity system and some poor building skills mean that you need to find and resolve problems quickly using moisture probes wherever leaks may develop.

Most of our clients just want to live in their house with peace of mind that it isn’t leaking and it is safe for their family. Our comprehensive patented moisture probe system identifies leaks and decay.

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.
