WATERPROOFING
The impact of water entry on a valuable asset whether residential, commercial or retail, can be devastating and very costly.
Waterproofing failures can occur as a result of a varied number of sources and the correct diagnosis of any such failure is critical. Experience within this field is paramount to solving water entry.
The market is constantly inundated with new products which have a certain and at times limited value to the industry and applicators need to be experienced to recognize this.
Our 37 years of experience in the remedial building industry will provide sound and reliable advice on rectifying your water penetration problems, selection and installation which suits the need of a particular application.
Kladis Building Solutions specializes in all major forms of waterproofing and is an approved applicator by a vast range of membrane manufacturers. When you appoint us to solve your waterproofing problems you can rest assured that highly skilled professionals will be able to rectify the matter the first time and ensure you enjoy your asset. We offer both remediation of old membranes as well as waterproofing of new structures.
CONCRETE REPAIRS
History has shown that concrete as a building material offers long term durability, far exceeding other materials.
As any materials age they are subjected to the impact of deterioration by natural elements and often induced environmental influences. Concrete is no different. The deterioration of concrete and its reinforced structures is on going and commence from the day of installation. The impact of carbon gases and chloride can lead to the weakening of the base and in turn corrosion of the reinforcant. Many building and asset managers only see the result of this when parts of the building dislodge or threaten to fall. Occurrence of such can be devastating as not only is the structure comprised but there may also exist a real danger of injury or damage to other parties.
Asset owners seek rectification from experienced contractors who are innovative in their approach to effecting repairs. Here at Kladis Building Solutions our professionals have many years experience investigating concrete deterioration, therefore we pride ourselves on our highly regarded assessment of defective concrete needs. Our remedial works on concrete defects vary greatly depending on the outcome of this assessment.
Some of the remedial services on offer include:
Cathodic Protection Crack Injection
Steel & Fiber Reinforcing Cement Grouting
Crack Injection Polymer Modified Cement
Epoxy Repair & Injection Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete
PROTECTIVE COATINGS
Protective coatings have the potential to not only dramatically increase the value of your assets, but also protect building structures and in turn reduce maintenance costs. The application of such is becoming more complex due to the production of newly specialised products and innovative technologies available. This is exactly why one should always enlist the services of a suitably experienced applicator. Kladis Building Solutions have 37 years experience in this line of remedial activity and its our reputation of top quality work that keeps us going. Our experience ranges from thin layer applications to high build epoxy installation.
Given the diversity of protective coatings industry Kladis Building Solutions uses the leading manufacturer and supplier of quality protective coatings Wattyl. Use of such suppliers coupled with our highly skilled labor further ensures our valued customers are receiving services of the highest quality.
UNDERPINNING
Underpinning can be described as the process of strengthening and stabilizing the foundation of buildings. This process calls for close consideration of the design, methodology and safety procedures in order to be carried out correctly. This kind of work poses very real risks and could see damage to the existing building or even potential collapse if not carried out by skilled professionals.
Common reasons for requiring underpinning are:
Poor or inadequate design of the original footing
Existing foundation of a building moving
Adding another storey to an existing structure
Original foundation is simply not strong or stable enough
Construction of nearby structures necessitates the excavation of soil supporting existing foundation
With over 35 years of experience in the remedial building industry Kladis Building Solution will find an answer to all you underpinning requirements and will do the job right the first time.
FACADE REFURBISHMENT
Building trends alter regularly which leaves many asset owners faced with an aged or dated external appearance of a building. Quite often millions are spent on internal refurbishment which modernizes the useable areas of a building. On the other hand the external appearance is frequently either forgotten or placed in the too hard bin.
Façade refurbishment has the potential to dramatically increase the value of your property. Value adding by upgrading the exterior is fast gaining popularity. In the past owners had often overlooked this opportunity when faced with deterioration of the façade which forces remedial works to be carried out. This is where we can help.
Kladis Building Solutions has significant expertise in façade refurbishment and can offer a diverse range of services to asset owners and managers facing this dilemma.
Our highly skilled professionals can help you with a range of façade refurbishment including:
Concrete or brickwork repair
Lintel replacement,
Rendering,
Window Refurbishment and/or replacement
Balustrades Replacement
Application of Façade Coatings
Paintwork
JOINT SEALING
Flexible joint sealants are widely used in a variety of commercial and residential applications. Common sealants include silicones, acrylics, polyurethanes, butyls and other polymeric types. Important function of maintaining existing joint sealants is protection from water ingress, allowing for movement between both similar and different building materials. In some façade installations sealants may be used to control air flow and pressure stability.
A suitably experienced professional should be engaged to apply sealant to your building structure. Kladis Building Solutions professionals will not only recommend a the right joint sealing for your structure which in turn will protect your asset, but will also ensure it looks good and most importantly we will ensure your joint sealing will provide a long term service.
CORROSION CONTROL
Corrosion is the result of chemical interaction of a metal with its environment and may be uniform in nature.

I write as the Strata Manager for a property in Pyrmont that Kladis Building Solutions have been carrying out works to for a number of years now.
We have found the work they have done to be carried out in a timely and professional manner and would be happy to recommend them for work on other strata related or similar sites.
Patrick Saad
Licensed Senior Strata Manager, Strata Associates
T he team of workers from Kladis Building Solutions has been here on site now for several weeks. During this time we have found them to be extremely professional. They are polite and respectful, obliging, prompt and hard working.
The Project Manager Mr Shaun Fullagher, has a good working relationship with his team and is usually on site working with his tradesmen. He also has a good rapport with the unit owners and ensures the work carried out is of good quality and is done expediently.
I have found, and have had reports from other owners within the building saying, that the workmen do their best to minimise disruption to the households. They lay covering on the floors and furniture and they always clean up any mess they have made when they have finished for the day. The craftsmanship is of excellent quality and they are impressive.
Kladis Building Solutions are professional, diplomatic and expedient and I would not hesitate to recommend them for any future building solutions.
