Hidden leak investigations using moisture readings and infrared thermal imaging support for walls, ceilings, floors and pipework.
An active leak needs a clear priority
Report hazards first
Tell the booking contact if water is near electrical fittings, a ceiling is sagging or several apartments are affected. Keep people away from the affected area. Only isolate a known water supply if it is safely accessible; do not operate unidentified building valves.
Help arrange access
Give the unit, level and building contact for an apartment leak. The visible stain may not be directly below the source, so adjoining rooms or another unit may need access. Ask the building manager to coordinate this rather than entering shared service spaces yourself.
Check the source and the remaining moisture
Once the immediate situation is controlled, ask what evidence identifies the source and which materials remain affected. Confirm whether the next action is repair, further investigation or drying. Keep a record of any area the team could not access.
