We were called to a property in St Julian’s after water appeared on the wall of a common area in an apartment block.
Common-area leaks can be difficult because the affected area may belong to the block, while the source may be in one apartment, a shared pipe route or another service area.
What the inspection checked
The team carried out a visual inspection and used acoustic equipment to listen for signs of water movement around the suspected route.
The inspection helped narrow the likely source so the building could move toward a targeted repair rather than leaving owners to argue from the visible damage alone.
Why this matters
Apartment blocks need evidence. A damp common-area wall may involve a private unit, common pipework, a shaft, bathroom routes or an external source.
If water is showing in a shared area, book an apartment block leak inspection so the next step is based on a professional check.
