>>>
>>> Hi William,
>>>
>>> I have attached some photographs taken on the 22^nd
>>> December 2015 on my last site visit.
>>>
>>> Whilst the bubbling is worse in your photographs, it
>>> is not dramatically so.
>>>
>>> The area of bubbling and water dropping onto my
>>> terrace is 3 times more than prior to the works
>>> being carried out recently by the contractor. In
>>> addition, the water has a dirt/rust colour which is
>>> staining everywhere below the overhang. The water
>>> is dropping through at a considerable rate 24/7
>>> regardless of whether there is any rain. This has
>>> been the same problem for the last 8 years.
>>>
>>> I would suggest we wait a bit longer before getting
>>> the painter back to patch the effected areas.
>>>
>>> The area doesn’t need patching – we need to expose
>>> where the water is coming from/through ie its source.
>>>
>>> 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.
>>>
>>> Again, why would we patch if rust staining is coming
>>> through?! Patching cannot be completed quickly
>>> enough from the amount of water which is forcing its
>>> way through. As is currently happening patching
>>> only sends the water in a different direction within
>>> the wall frame and subsequently water drops through
>>> from a new area.
>>>
>>> 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
>>>
>>> (merely??) water dripping off the slab edge over the
>>> balcony, which would be expected anyway, at least
>>> when it rains. Again, the water drips constantly
>>> 24/7 even when there is NO rain. The issue is the
>>> efflorescence and rust staining on the tiles and
>>> furniture.
>>>
>>> I have confirmed in previous email correspondence to
>>> the Strata Manager that I will take the Body
>>> Corporate once taken to Tribunal. Unless I receive
>>> confirmation by February 16 that another way of
>>> handling this matter is to take place, I will follow
>>> through with the Tribunal.
>>>
>>> I have been advised by the representatives of the
>>> Tribunal that severe penalties will be charged to
>>> the owners if the original order by the Tribunal is
>>> not once and for all carried out.
