Our Professional Diagnostic Inspection uncovers the real cause of leaks, cracks, and waterproofing failures — so you know exactly what needs fixing and why
✔ A structured assessment of the shower as a complete waterproof system, not just visible finishes
✔ Identification of system-level failure patterns through on-site compliance checking against current waterproofing and construction standards to confirm whether the shower system has failed and reached the end of its service life
✔ Interpretation of how water is behaving beyond the tiled surface based on visible indicators
✔ Targeted moisture meter testing to detect abnormal moisture levels beyond the tiled surface and indicate the extent of water migration
✔ Confirmation of whether damage can be contained within the shower footprint or has extended into surrounding walls, flooring, or structural elements
✔ Determination of whether rectification can be limited to a complete shower rebuild or if broader bathroom works are required to properly resolve the issue
✔ Accurate measurements for planning, logistics, and pricing
✔ Preparation of a fixed-price rebuild or renovation Action Plan and proposal with clearly defined scope and inclusions
Conducted by qualified, police-checked experts — never subcontractors — this is a technical assessment, not a sales visit.
Shower problems often present with similar visible symptoms, but the consequences beneath the surface can vary significantly. What looks minor on the outside can involve damage that extends well beyond the shower area, affecting walls, floors, or structural elements of the bathroom.
This inspection works because it connects what can be seen on the surface with what must be done to resolve the issue properly. Through on-site compliance checking, moisture testing, and system-level assessment, we confirm how the shower has failed and how far the impact extends, so the solution is based on certainty rather than assumption.
By confirming the correct scope upfront, this process avoids trial-and-error fixes, repeated disruption, and the compounding cost of repairs that don’t address the underlying system failure. The outcome is a clear, fixed-price plan sized to the true condition of the bathroom, not an under-scoped repair that needs revisiting later.
Why this level of inspection is uncommon
Accurately confirming the correct outcome requires more than trade skill. It requires the ability to recognise failure patterns, understand concealed water behaviour, and translate that knowledge into a build strategy that permanently resolves the issue. This capability is developed through years of specialising exclusively in failed showers, not through general repair work.
Optional documentation ✔
For clients who require formal written documentation, a detailed defect and compliance report can be provided as an optional add-on. Most homeowners do not need this to proceed with a permanent solution.
This inspection is about removing uncertainty, protecting your home, and ensuring the solution you move forward with is the one that actually works.

Our $149 Professional Diagnostic Inspection is more than just an inspection — it’s a full consultation and action plan to identify the real cause of your leak and provide a permanent, compliant solution.
