PRESS RELEASE: Preventative Maintenance for each dollar you spend you save up to $100

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Save up to 100 times the cost of future waterproofing repairs

Sydney, NSW, 7th May 2019 The real and ugly cost of home repairs has come to light, thanks to Remedial Membranes’ latest article, showing how one homeowner failed to act on leaky waterproofing that, in the space of five years, resulted in damages costing $240,000 – almost the same as the original house build.
While maintenance might not top everyone’s list of jobs around the home, the stark fact is that for every $1 spent on maintenance before a problem gets out of control will cost up to 100 times that amount in future repairs. A sobering statistic for those who, for example, ignore a leaky tap that would cost less than $5 to replace the washer or, refuse to spend less than $100 replacing a cracked external light fitting.
Furthermore, when it comes to replacing anything where water and electricity mix, it’s not just the heart-attack inducing cost of repairs to consider, there’s the real possibility of death by electrocution.
Jasmin Aleknavicius, spokesperson for Remedial Membranes, said: ‘Maintenance jobs often fall down the list when it comes to must-dos around the home. However, when you multiply the price of current maintenance by up to 100 to get a cost for future repairs, they should go straight back to the top. We are always happy to advise customers when it comes to their waterproofing maintenance. Repairing a leak in a shower or balcony with an over tiles solution such as Remedial Membranes’ Clear Waterproofing Membrane, is highly cost-effective. Although it’s simple enough to do yourself, there are qualified teams of installers who can do it for you.’
How can homeowners save money through maintenance and upkeep of ‘wet’ areas? Here are Remedial Membranes’ top three suggestions for waterproofing maintenance:
1. Showers. If a shower is leaking, you need to act fast and smart as the damage (and the cost) spreads very quickly. Because of frequent use, a shower leak will soon get through to the foundations, causing expensive damage. Take our case study as an example, a Shower Tray Kit costing $149+GST would have fixed this leak and prevented final damage costs of $240 000.00. Use Remedial Membranes’ Clear Waterproofing Membrane to create a clear shower tray that prevents water from escaping and all, without the need to remove the tiles.
2. Leaky balcony. If you see mould on your plasterboard, swollen timber or drips coming through your light fittings, it’s time to act. Using Clear Waterproofing Membrane over the top your existing tiles will save you 70% of the cost of having to call in a builder to rip-up and retile your balcony.
3. Skylights. If leaky skylights are an issue, check around the seals for any tears or breaks caused by exposure to the sun and use Clear Waterproofing Membrane to fill and cover the gap.
Remedial Membranes’ final piece of advice? Act now – save later!
