One of our clients, a strata complex, needed some work on their balcony. The issue with their existing balcony involved wood rot, where the structural timber supporting the balcony was entirely rotted out and required quick repairs. With the help of our expertise, our client was able to get reliable timber structural support to secure their balcony properly.
The client required efficient repairs for a balcony on the property. The First Response team has seen many instances of moisture damage leading to rotting structural timber under balcony decks. There are a couple of potential reasons for this: there is often either no waterproofing or waterproof sealant that was poorly applied. These issues can easily cause rotting structural timber.
With an understanding of the client's specific needs, we provided them with a quote within 24 hours. We also got to work on the balcony repair project within two days upon first visiting the site, thanks to the fast approval of the complex's owners. During this project, we redesigned the balcony support's structural timber products using stable moisture-resistant hardwood.
We were unable to source tiles that matched the existing models, but we found an effective workaround. Instead, we used hardwood timber to build the landing that works with the timber stair treads without standing out. Taking these measures during the balcony repairs helped save the body corporate even more money on the project, keeping them within their allotted budget.
The result was a fully functional and safe balcony that would no longer endure any wood rot. The replacement timber was resistant to moisture and provided ample support. At First Response, we love to find the best solutions at the best price for our clients.
