[200William-EC SP67851] 12765.00 160121 RE: SP 67851 - URGENT Tribunal Order for Water Penetration in Unit 601 - CRAIG LAFOREST VS BODY CORPORATE STRATA PLAN 67851

[Lee Carroll]

Hi William,

I have attached some photographs taken on the 22nd December 2015 on my last site visit.

Whilst the bubbling is worse in your photographs, it is not dramatically so.

I would suggest we wait a bit longer before getting the painter back to patch the effected areas.

The bubbling and efflorescence appears to be mostly confined the slab edge which is in keeping with my theory.

The rust staining on the paint bubbles is concerning as it indicates corrosion of reinforcement in the concrete.

As discussed we had a job in Mosman awhile back with a similar issue. The planter box has seven layers of membrane installed and yet the water persisted. It turned out to be coming under the planter box from the terrace area. There may be a similar issue here, although in my opinion there would should also be water penetration visible on the soffit of the slab as the slab edge if this was the case.

It should be noted that this is not water penetration into Unit 601. It is merely water dripping off the slab edge over the balcony, which would be expected anyway, at least when it rains. The issue is the efflorescence and rust staining on the tiles and furniture.
