Reservoir
Reservoir’s housing is mostly standard brick or weatherboard homes, with a growing number of new developments. Four Mernda line stations serve the suburb: Reservoir, Regent, Keon Park and Ruthven.
Weatherboard homes need a different approach from brick ones, especially around bathrooms, where timber floors and subfloor ventilation have to be dealt with properly during waterproofing.

Yes. On a timber floor we check the joists and subfloor first, then waterproof to the standard before tiling. We also check for asbestos in older wall and floor linings before strip-out.
