We were called to an apartment in San Gwann after the owners were told that water was entering the apartment underneath.
Neighbour-below leaks can quickly become stressful because the visible damage is in one property while the suspected source may be in another. This is exactly the type of situation where a professional inspection helps reduce blame and replace blame with evidence.
What the inspection checked
The team carried out a visual inspection and then used thermal imaging around the bathroom area. The inspection pointed to a likely issue in the corner near the toilet, giving the client a clear area to investigate and repair.
The owner then had a much more focused next step instead of opening random tiles or blaming unrelated pipework.
Why this matters
In apartment blocks, bathroom leaks may come from supply pipework, toilet connections, shower areas, drains, waterproofing, silicone lines or service shafts. The damp patch below does not automatically show the source.
If a neighbour reports water ingress under your property, the safest step is to arrange access and book a bathroom leak detection inspection before the situation becomes more expensive or confrontational.
