The Team Behind
the Investigation
HydroIQ is a specialized waterproofing investigation firm led by industry leaders with a lifetime of expertise. We identify and diagnose waterproofing issues with precision and clarity — providing the evidence you need to make informed decisions.
No Conflict
of Interest
Founded on the Principle of Independence
HydroIQ was founded with a singular vision: to bring scientific rigour and independence to waterproofing investigation. We saw a market where diagnosis and repair were often performed by the same parties — creating inherent conflicts of interest.
By focusing exclusively on investigation and identification, we ensure that our findings are objective and evidence-based. As a sister company of S&S Remedial, we provide thorough diagnostic reports with clear, evidence-backed insights that you can use to engage any specialist of your choosing for rectification — though our sister company remains an option.
Today, HydroIQ serves property owners, strata managers, building professionals, and legal practitioners across South East Queensland with industry-leading waterproofing investigation services.
