Waterproofing Inspection & Defect Diagnosis
Diagnose first, hack later. A bathroom leak can come from the floor membrane, the pipe collar, the floor trap, the tile grout, a hidden pipe leak, or from an entirely different room. Hacking before diagnosis is expensive and often wrong. We trace the source, map the affected area and write a report that lets the owner decide the right scope.
Common defects we treat
- Ceiling stain or damp spot below a bathroom or roof
- Damp patch on a bedroom wall adjacent to a wet area
- Repeated leakage after previous waterproofing works
- Suspected condensation vs. actual water ingress
- Pre-purchase inspection of an apartment with leak history
Method on site
Site walk and history
Owner interview, leak history, previous rectification works, finishes installed and any access constraints recorded.
Moisture mapping
Surface moisture readings on walls, floors and ceilings. Patterns plotted to localise the most likely entry point.
Targeted leak trace
Controlled water trace at suspected sources — floor, walls, pipe collar, floor trap, plumbing — to confirm the actual ingress path.
Photographic record
Annotated photos at each moisture reading and trace point. The report shows what was found, not just what is recommended.
Written report
Findings, probable root cause, recommended hack-out boundary and a draft scope of works for the rectifier. Owner keeps full ownership of the next step.
Deliverables to the client
- Inspection report with photos and moisture map
- Probable root-cause assessment
- Recommended rectification scope and hack-out boundary
- Independent reference for owner / MCST / consultant discussion
