How do you identify the cause of a defect?

+
We perform an in-depth on-site diagnostic inspection. We assess visible signs like cracking, water pooling, or displacement, and investigate underlying causes such as movement, moisture ingress, or improper construction methodology using diagnostic tools and thermal or moisture imaging.

What types of defects can you repair?

+
Dwelcom rectifies a full range of defects including waterproofing failures, structural movement and cracking, defective external cladding and facades, leaking roofs and faulty flashings, concrete spalling (concrete cancer), tiling defects, and defective carpentry across residential and multi-residential strata properties.

Do you provide a warranty on the work?

+
Yes. Every rectification project completed by Dwelcom is backed by statutory building warranties under Australian building legislation, together with manufacturer warranties on all waterproofing systems and premium rectification materials.

How long does rectification work take?

+
The timeline depends on the nature and severity of the defect. Minor finish or flashing repairs may take a few days, while major structural remediation or complete balcony membrane replacements typically span 2 to 4 weeks. We provide a documented timeline before commencing works.

Will I need to move out during the repairs?

+
In most instances, homeowners and tenants can comfortably remain in the property while repairs are performed. Our team works with strict dust control, safety barriers, and clean staging protocols to keep disturbance to an absolute minimum.

Can you work with my insurer or iCare?

+
Yes, absolutely. We frequently assist property owners and strata schemes with Home Building Compensation Fund (HBCF) iCare claims, strata insurance, and dispute resolution by supplying comprehensive photographic defect reports and compliant scopes of rectification.
