St George is dense — a lot of units, townhouses and semis packed close together, plus older houses that have been extended or converted into duplexes. Shared walls and shared roofs mean a leak here often affects more than one household.

What we see in the St George area

• High-density units and strata. Hurstville and Rockdale in particular have a lot of apartment buildings where balcony and roof waterproofing needs owners corporation sign-off.
• Duplex and dual-occupancy conversions. A lot of St George houses have been split or extended, which means multiple wet areas and roof penetrations that weren’t part of the original design.
• Bayside exposure. Properties around Brighton-Le-Sands and Sans Souci get similar weather exposure to other bayside and coastal suburbs, and age accordingly.
