Wet area failures around Rockbank
The wet area findings from this corridor are the clearest argument for inspecting before tiling. Sandpaper left inside a toilet drain. A shower drain full of cement debris. Unfilled holes in a shower base sitting directly above a ground floor ceiling. A screed with divots that will pond water on the membrane. Each is trivial to fix on the day and each requires breaking out finished tiling once the bathroom is complete.

Construction debris in a drain sets hard and blocks it permanently.
Holes in an upper floor shower base leak into the ceiling below.
Divots in the screed pond water on the membrane rather than draining it.
A rough screed cannot support a membrane evenly.
All of it is reachable for about a week, and then it is not.
