Damp Busters NSW is led by Lachlan, an owner-operator with over 10 years of hands-on experience across residential construction, carpentry, and moisture-related building issues.
With a strong background in building works, Lachlan brings a practical understanding of how Sydney homes are constructed, particularly older and renovation-affected properties where damp issues are rarely straightforward.

How We Approach
Damp & Moisture Issues
Every job starts the same way: understand the cause before recommending a solution.
01. Inspect First
Damp and moisture issues often look similar but have different causes.
A proper inspection is essential before any work is considered.
02. Identify the Cause
Rising damp, condensation, ventilation and subfloor moisture all behave differently.
Misdiagnosis leads to repeated problems and unnecessary work.
03. Recommend Solutions
Some properties require remediation, others don’t.
Recommendations are based on findings, not assumptions.
Experience Built on Understanding
How Homes Really Work
Damp and moisture problems aren’t just about what’s visible on the surface. They’re shaped by how a home was built, how it’s been altered over time, and how moisture moves through the structure.
With a background in carpentry and building works, Lachlan approaches damp issues with a clear understanding of how homes actually function. That perspective is especially important in older Sydney properties, where damp is often linked to construction details, ventilation constraints, or previous renovations rather than a single obvious fault.
Instead of treating symptoms in isolation, each inspection looks at the broader picture: how moisture is entering the building, where it’s travelling, and why it’s becoming trapped in the first place. This inspection-first approach underpins all of our damp and moisture services, ensuring recommendations are based on what the property actually needs rather than a one-size-fits-all solution.
