MEL ONE waterproofing update

Photos for a Canberra Waterproofing Quote

Learn which safe, clear photos help the MEL ONE team prepare for a waterproofing inspection and written repair quote.

Useful photos for a waterproofing quote

Take one wide photo showing the affected room or exterior area, then closer photos of visible stains, cracked grout, failed silicone, lifted tiles or the wall-floor junction. Include a reference point so the location is clear. For a bathroom leak, show the shower, screen, floor, adjacent wall and any affected room on the other side if safely accessible. For a balcony leak, include the door threshold, perimeter and visible area below.

Safe leak photography

Use steady, well-lit images and avoid filters. Photograph the area when the symptom is visible, then note the date and whether it followed shower use, rain or another event. Do not remove tiles, cut sealant, enter a ceiling space or climb onto a roof to get a better view. A photo documents an observation; it cannot confirm the concealed water path or replace an on-site assessment.

Waterproofing repair details to send with photos

Include your suburb, the room or external area affected, when the water appears, how long the issue has been occurring and any previous repair that you know about. Mention whether the property is occupied and any access constraints. Avoid sending personal documents, faces, house numbers or unrelated private details. The MEL ONE team uses this information to prepare for a focused inspection and discuss the next step.

Photo assessment and waterproofing repair pricing

You can start your enquiry with a description of the problem and any photos you already have. We inspect the area and provide a written quote covering the access, preparation, waterproofing or sealing, retiling and related repair work needed for the repair. Tell us the room, when water appears and any previous repair; our team will explain the likely work stages and what to expect during the visit.

See the relevant MEL ONE services for leaking shower repairs, bathroom waterproofing and retiling, or balcony waterproofing. Email optional, safely taken photos to riley@melonemaintenance.com.au and use the Canberra waterproofing service form to arrange an inspection and property-specific quote.
