Raise the Value of Your Home

Fixing any weathertightness problems with your property will definitely add value to it. Being able to present an up to date weathertightness assessment will make your Auckland property all the more valuable to buyers.

Detect Damage Early

Having a weathertightness assessment conducted on your Auckland home will detect any potential damage to the foundations, roofs, cladding, inner cavities and other areas so that they can be repaired and made weathertight against future weather invasion. If left, mould, mildew and very expensive damage can befall a property - so detect the damage early!

Some weathertight issues are made all the worse by having an ineffective guttering system. We offer expert gutter cleaning, replacement and repair services to make sure rainwater is being properly drawn away from your property and not pooling anywhere, causing damage to your building.

Regular Gutter Maintenance

We make sure your gutters are working efficiently at all times, allowing water to drain away from the home to protect the soundness of your roof and exterior walls. Our easy maintenance services keep a small problem from growing into a large and expensive one.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Weathertightness refers to the resistance against the elements, keeping a building completely waterproof and undamaged from wet weather. In New Zealand, particularly, weathertightness (otherwise known as “leaky building syndrome”) is a massive issue due to the previous widespread popularity of medditerrean style builds that were not very well built and suffered major water damage, which is very costly to fix if left undiagnosed. Leaky buildings can not fix themselves!
Yes! Our house washing and gutter cleaning services in Auckland use environmentally conscious house washing products like our Green Earth House Wash. This natural house wash cuts through stubborn grime, dirt and grease just as well, if not better than chemical cleaners. The Green Earth house washing product is carefully formulated to quickly penetrate, emulsify and remove light to medium dirt debris. Being made from natural plants and minerals, the Green Earth house wash leaves behind no chemical fumes or residue! It’s our proudly 100% natural house washing solution!
In the ’90s and early 2000s, a new monolithic and Meditteranean style of home build became hugely popular. While they looked modern and comfortable for the time, they were built poorly, not suitable for New Zealand’s wet weather, and they were built EVERYWHERE in New Zealand. Untreated timber began to rot away in the weather and make the properties structurally unsound, as well as unsafe for people to live in due to the damp cladding growing huge amounts of mould and mildew. The scandal that broke out about New Zealand’s leaky home problem devastated many homeowners as the cost to fix the home’s condition often cost more than the initial purchase did as the damage was already done. Weathertightness assessments in Auckland are pretty much standard now if you want to buy or sell a property.
Nope! Our gutter cleaning products are gentle enough that they will not harm any outdoor furniture if any of the water or product sprays should land on them, and the soil and plants can even benefit from the extra nutrients in our eco-friendly Green Earth washing products!
Eventually, yes, the water will be sent down the stormwater drain. But we make sure it is safe to do so! Before we begin cleaning out your gutters, we inspect them and see how much build-up is in there. If there is light to medium organic dirt and debris in the gutters, it is safe to be washed straight into the storm system. If the debris is particularly heavy, contains paint flakes and other non-eco-friendly matter, we will block the storm drains off first before beginning so that we can filter the non-eco matter out of the dirty water before allowing it to run into the stormwater system.
Our experts come from lengthy experience dealing with weather tightness in homes and can safely say that making sure your home isn’t a leaky one should be on the top of your property maintenance list. Weather tightness just means that all points of your home are safe from the external elements, and the inside of your home is dry and stays dry. Before we begin any kind of cleaning service, we need to check that spraying water and products onto your home is not going to seep through any cracks in the weather tightness. If there is weakness in your exterior cladding or other points of construction, then your home is at risk of weather damage and water damage from being washed, or gutters cleaned.
