Imagine this: You wake up, go about your day, and suddenly notice a damp spot creeping across your bedroom wall. Yikes! That’s enough to send anyone into a bit of a panic. Lucky for you, if you’re in Malta, there’s a top team ready to tackle water issues head-on: Leak Detection Malta.
One of our latest cases took place in Sliema, where an apartment was suffering from an unexpected guest—water. Yes, you read that right. The homeowner noticed water coming into their bedroom (not the most welcome addition to a cosy space) and immediately called in the experts for help.
When the Leak Detection Malta team arrived, they were met by the worried client, who quickly showed them around the flat and explained the situation. This wasn’t a job for a quick DIY fix—it required serious investigation, which is where our expertise comes in handy. Armed with top-tier water leak detection services, we were ready to get to the bottom of things.
First up? A good old visual inspection of the bedroom, ensuite, the adjacent corridor, and an internal service shaft. But, of course, when it comes to water leaks, sometimes what you can’t see is just as important as what you can. So, we pulled out our trusty thermal camera. This clever bit of kit helps detect cold spots—basically areas where water could be hiding behind walls, under floors, or in other sneaky places.
Our investigation soon led us to the internal service shaft, where we discovered something worrying. There were two big holes (100mm wide!) intended for ventilation but completely unsealed. To make matters worse, the gullies around the drainpipe were overflowing, meaning water was seeping right through those unprotected holes and into the apartment. No wonder the poor homeowner was finding their bedroom damp!
Adding to the drama, we found heavy amounts of black mould in the area. That’s never a good sign. Not only does mould damage property, but it can also pose some serious health risks. So, this wasn’t just a job for leak detection—this required urgent action to protect both the home and the people living in it.
After the thorough investigation, Leak Detection Malta didn’t just leave the client hanging with a list of problems. They provided clear, practical solutions. Our recommendations? First, get that black mould sorted ASAP. Nobody wants to be living with something that is harmful in their home! Next, seal up those holes in the service shaft and install proper grills. This will keep the water (and any unwanted creepy crawlies) out for good. Simple, but highly effective!
If you’re ever faced with a similar situation in your home, don’t just cross your fingers and hope for the best. Whether it’s water sneaking into your bedroom or another part of your home, professional leak detection is the smart move. Our team at Leak Detection Malta are not only equipped with the latest tools like thermal technology, but they also know how to spot issues that can easily be missed by an untrained eye.
