Leak Detection & Concealed Pipe Repair

A water leak on your premises can be a source of concern, especially when you are unsure of where the leak occurred and the extent of the damage. If you notice your water bill is abnormally high or find an unexplained buildup of moisture in an area of your premises, it may be a sign that you have a leaking pipe. The problem is that most water pipes are hidden within the building’s structure, so a leak can mean having to hack down parts of the structure to make the necessary repairs.

However, we have refined a unique method of concealed pipe repair that does not require any hacking of walls to address these leaks immediately and can be completed within a day. To date, we have made numerous successful repairs using this technique. You can enjoy minimal hassle, quicker repairs, and reduced indoor pollution from the repair work.

Common Water and Concealed Pipe Leakage Concerns

Concealed water pipes are hidden behind your premises’ walls and other structures to maintain the aesthetic appeal of the interior and exterior. When a leak does occur, you may not notice it until it is too late, given how the piping is carefully concealed within the building’s structure. Some of the more common water and concealed pipe leakages can stem from the following scenarios.

False ceiling leaks

Due to the nature of the false ceiling, these can be harder to spot, but noticeable water droplets or stains can indicate that a leak has occurred.

Sink pipe leaks

It helps to regularly check the pipes leading to or away from your sink for any signs of a leak. You can use dry tissue paper to wipe along the pipe’s length and look for signs of moisture.

Cabinet leaks

If you notice any wetness in or around your cabinet (built-in or otherwise), it may indicate that a nearby pipe is leaking. You may have to open, move, or disassemble the cabinet to access the leaking area.

Addressing these concerns promptly will prevent a leak from worsening, giving you peace of mind and minimising the time, effort, and cost of repairing these issues.

Signs of a Water Pipe Leak

It is understandable if you are having trouble looking for the common signs of water and concealed pipe leakage, considering that the pipes are located within your premises’ structure. However, there may be occasions or situations where you might spot telltale signs of a leak and then contact our plumbers to address the problem quickly.

  • Sounds of dripping or rushing water coming from inside the walls or ceiling.
  • Puddles of water appear on the floor after several hours or overnight.
  • Unexplained moisture buildup on or around the walls, cabinets, and other fixtures or furniture.
  • Noticeable signs of mould growth or a musty odour in the air if there are no obvious signs of mould growth.
  • Sudden, unexpected increase in monthly water bill costs.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Housing & Development Board (HDB) will cover any ceiling leaks or water seepage repairs if your flat is still covered under the Defect Liability Period. They also offer comprehensive warranties on ceiling leaks and water seepage for three years and five years, respectively, after your purchase. However, if your flat has passed this period, you should contact your local town council immediately and provide any photographs and other details as evidence.

For cases where water leaks are found in window frame cavities or older air-conditioning panels, the flat owner will need to bear the expense. For ceiling leaks that affect the upper and lower floor units, both homeowners will need to cover the repair costs.

The overall cost will depend on the nature of the leaks on your premises. The price will account for water leak detection using specialised tools and the extent of repairs needed to address the leakages. After our initial inspection, we will provide you with a detailed breakdown of expenses.

Unless you are a certified plumber, we advise against attempting repairs on your own, especially if you lack the knowledge or tools to complete them without difficulty. Contact a professional plumbing team like ours to help you address the problem promptly.
