Our expert team was recently summoned to carry out an inspection of a single-story home at the crucial waterproofing stage. The homeowner, becoming concerned after viewing some of our content, decided to reach out to us. His worries, as it turned out, were far from unfounded.
What we discovered was alarming. A multitude of noncompliance issues were scattered throughout the property. From faulty waterproofing to water leaks, we identified a series of problems that demanded immediate rectification before any commencement of the tiling process. The homeowner's decision to contact us was indeed a fortunate one.
Our famed inspector, widely known as the TikTok Inspector, expertly identified the troubles and suggested solutions for rectification. At Site Inspections, we take immense pride in aiding homeowners to make educated decisions regarding their properties, and this inspection was a shining example.

As a sole trader carpenter, i love your work inspector, i cannot believe it not a sight of primer before membrane, thats crazy, i have done tiling for 30 years and always been aware of ingress water leaking into vanity and kitchens kickboards when you see on this video, very simple prevention is to install vanity or cabinets after floor tiling is done.

What would be really helpful is to see some examples of installations that have been done correctly so we can see what it should look like thanks

Great video. As a sparky we wont cut or fit off the eave vents until the painting is done so the painters don’t have to worry about it.

I have been watching your videos for 3 hours and I have learnt a-lot from wrapping the water trap to the perimeter and most importantly primer before membrane and transition from wall to floor flexible sealant must be 12mm. I am too old become a water proofer at age 38?

yes that looks like Gripset waterproofing membrane ( with its blue colour), not sure the guy who did waterproofing understand and follow the data sheet provided by Gripset, not to mention, his dodgy workmanship, its just unbelievable to see that there is no waterstop installed on the doorway and around shower screen area. The guy is cluless and didn't follow AS3740

Surely that imbedded cardboard vanity would have compromised that water proofing system, in my view these outdated building practices should be corrected. @anthonyreid66 is in the right hole my friends.
