If you’ve ever noticed mysterious water stains on your ceiling or walls, you know how frustrating it can be. That’s exactly what happened to one of our clients in Bugibba, who was concerned about water seeping through the ceiling and walls beneath her apartment. Not an ideal situation, right?
Luckily, she called Leak Detection Malta to sort it out!
The First Look: Damp Walls and A Worrying Ceiling
When we arrived at the property, the client greeted us and walked us through the issue. There were clear signs of water damage on the ceiling and the wall underneath her apartment. The source, though? Not so obvious! That’s where our expertise comes in.
Step One: Thermal Imaging to the Rescue
We kicked off our investigation with a visual inspection, checking the surrounding area for any obvious signs of dampness. But we didn’t stop there! Our team then used thermal imaging technology to detect where the water was coming from. It’s amazing how much thermal technology can reveal—it showed us that the water was seeping from the bathroom.
Step Two: Pressure Testing the Plumbing System
Next, we moved on to a pressure test on the plumbing system. We used a pressure pump and hot water to test the pipes, and sure enough, the test came back positive. There was a burst pipe somewhere in the system, causing all this unwanted water ingress.
Step Three: Finding and Fixing the Burst Pipe
With the help of thermal technology, we quickly located the burst pipe. Once we found the culprit, we coordinated with the client’s plumber to get the repairs underway as fast as possible. It’s always a relief to catch these things early before the damage gets worse!
