Surface Moisture Content Testing
Surface Moisture Content Testing (SMCT) is a non-destructive, capacitance-based method used to measure the moisture levels present near the surface of building substrates such as concrete, screeds, and masonry.
Protect Your Project from Hidden Moisture Risks
Moisture is one of the most common causes of waterproofing failure. If a concrete slab, screed, or other substrate contains excess moisture, it can prevent coatings and membranes from bonding as intended — ultimately leading to leaks, blistering, or costly remediation. Our Surface Moisture Content Testing service accurately measures moisture conditions within building substrates before waterproofing is applied.
Using advanced capacitance-based meters conforming to ASTM F2659, our technicians deliver fast, non-destructive, and reliable results. We identify damp areas, verify drying progress, and confirm when substrates are suitable for membrane installation. For builders, contractors, and owners, this provides confidence that waterproofing systems will bond, cure, and perform correctly for years to come.

Common Questions
What kinds of buildings need Electronic leak detection?
Any building that uses a membrane within its construction will benefit from this kind of testing.
Do you offer ELD services nationally?
Yes. We can have our technicians travel to even the most remote areas around Australia.
What does an initial consultation involve?
We will discuss your project, understand the scope, and recommend the right service, whether that is a design review, inspection program, testing, or defect assessment. There is no cost or obligation for the initial conversation.
What size projects do you work on?
Everything from single-dwelling remediation to multi-tower developments. Our client base includes tier-1 builders, major developers, and individual asset owners.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are NATA accredited for waterproofing testing and members of the Australian Institute of Waterproofing (AIW). Our team includes qualified building inspectors and registered engineers.
How are your fees structured?
Fees depend on scope, complexity, and service type. We provide a clear proposal with fixed pricing before any work begins. No hidden costs.
Can I send you plans or documents before our call?
Absolutely. After submitting the form, you will receive a confirmation email with instructions for sharing project documentation securely.
