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.

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.

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.

Should you be worried about owning a plaster clad house in NZ?

If you want to make, and keep your house safe and dry, preserving its asset value, you cannot afford to miss out on this information.

As the country’s plaster-clad houses age, the issues of untreated timber, leaks and poor building practices from the past continue to haunt today’s owners.

We have tested thousands of houses. The grim reality is that nearly all had at least one leak the owner was unaware of. Often, we found multiple leaks and decay. When you combine leaks with badly or untreated timber, doing nothing, or not finding out, is a very poor option.

If your house does leak, you need to find out where and fix it before it causes major damage. If it doesn’t leak then you need to be able to prove this to a future buyer and their bank.

Without adequate preparation, homeowners are losing hundreds of thousands of dollars with many houses being sold below their land value.

In this report, Ian Holyoake, a former plaster cladding manufacturer, industry expert, and now MD of Moisture Detection Company, clearly explains the dilemma facing those owning a plaster-clad house and why it is vital to be proactive and protect their most valuable investment.
