Harcourts Offices

At the Harcourts building in Tawa, moisture was being absorbed through one of the concrete
walls. The carpets were damp and rotting at the base of the wall, which was causing damage
to office property and an odour.

The building owner, Pat, called in DURAPROOF. We found holes in the mortar, and
water blowing through the concrete in wind. There was also a lot of mud buildup in the metre
between the wall and an adjacent fence. We dug out the area, cleaned it up, and created a
channel for water to drain well. We properly treated, patched and sealed the wall, and applied
three coats of Duraflex to further protect it. Now the wall is completely sealed, and the
occupants have none of the negative effects they used to have.
