What Does a lockup/waterproofing Stage Inspection Involve?
A lockup/waterproofing stage inspection involves checking that the external structure of the building is secure and weatherproof. This includes inspecting windows, doors, external walls, and the roof to ensure they are properly installed and sealed. The inspection also covers flashing, waterproof membranes in wet areas, and any penetrations that could allow water ingress. Inspectors verify that all work aligns with building codes and approved plans, ensuring your home is protected from moisture damage. Any issues are documented in a detailed report with photos, helping you address problems before moving to internal finishes.
Why a lockup/waterproffing Stage Inspection Matters?
A lockup/waterproofing stage inspection matters because it ensures your home is fully sealed and protected from external elements, especially water intrusion. Water leaks and poor sealing at this stage can lead to serious long-term issues like mould, rot, and structural damage. This inspection verifies that doors, windows, roofing, and waterproof membranes are correctly installed and compliant with building standards. Catching faults now prevents costly repairs later and ensures the internal stages of construction can proceed without risk. It’s a critical step in protecting your home’s durability, safety, and value.
