WATER DAMAGE REPAIRS THAT CONNECT BACK TO THE BUILDING

Water damage in a commercial property can affect walls, ceilings, flooring, insulation, joinery, services and structural elements. The visible staining is often only part of the issue. The affected area needs to be assessed, damaged material removed and the building properly reinstated.
Water can travel through ceiling cavities, wall framing, floor build-ups, insulation and service penetrations. By the time staining, swelling, odour or mould appears, the affected materials may extend beyond the first visible mark.
Commercial sites also need the work handled in a way that considers access, business continuity, occupant safety, documentation and the planned use of the space. In some cases the job is part of a lease exit. In others it is part of a landlord repair, insurance process, building maintenance program or larger remediation project. The remediation works need to deal with the source, affected materials and reinstatement pathway.
ASSESS, REMOVE, REMEDIATE AND REINSTATE
Make Good Melbourne coordinates the trade work needed to remediate water-damaged and mould-affected commercial areas. Depending on the project, this may include demolition of affected plasterboard or ceilings, removal of damaged floor finishes, disposal of affected material, drying coordination, surface treatment, waterproofing repairs, patching, painting, flooring reinstatement and related building works.
We can work alongside plumbers, roofers, hygienists, insurers, building managers and property managers where their involvement is required. Once the affected materials are removed and the area is ready for reinstatement, we complete the make good and repair works needed to bring the space back to a usable condition.
Water damage work does not finish when the affected material is removed. Make Good Melbourne is well suited to this work because our team already handles strip out, make safe, plastering, painting, ceilings, flooring and waterproofing interfaces, and we can manage the building remediation scope with the end use in mind.
