Some garage water ingress cases are local. Others are part of a wider moisture problem affecting more than one property. This Gzira case involved both water from above and water appearing from below.
Symptoms On Site
The client’s garage showed ceiling ingress at the rear. In another internal garage within the same block, water was tracking in around 80 cm above floor level.
The client was also pumping roughly 500 litres from a well twice daily just to manage the water. That volume suggested the inspection had to look beyond one ceiling stain.
Roof And Meter Checks
Access to the roof helped clarify the plumbing layout. Meter checks then showed four apartments with meters spinning even when tank inlets were closed, which can indicate possible private supply leaks.
The wider area also gave context: nearby garages were reportedly pumping water to the road, and some gardens appeared unusually wet.
Coordination With WSC
Because the issue appeared multi-property and multi-source, WSC’s leak detection team was contacted to collaborate.
Cases like this can involve private pipe leaks, drainage routes, groundwater behaviour and public infrastructure. The role of the inspection is to document meter behaviour, flow patterns and visible ingress so the right parties can act on evidence.
For similar block or garage problems, start with apartment block leak detection or water leak detection in Malta. When the issue may involve WSC or high consumption, a WSC leak report may also be relevant.
