Finding the Source of Ceiling Leaks
Our Gordon's Bay plumbing team are trained to find the source of ceiling leaks quickly. Water leaking from a ceiling can come from multiple sources including a burst or leaking geyser in the roof space, pipes running through the ceiling cavity, a faulty toilet or shower on the floor above, or even roof damage allowing rainwater in. The visible leak is often far from the actual source as water travels along beams and pipes.
The Urgency of Ceiling Leaks
Water leaking into a ceiling causes immediate damage to insulation, ceilings, and light fittings. It creates electrical hazards if water reaches wiring or light fixtures, promotes rapid mould growth in hidden spaces, weakens ceiling boards leading to collapse, and damages furniture and belongings below. The longer you wait, the more expensive the repairs become.
Our Leak Detection Process
We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to trace leaks to their source. Our plumbers inspect the roof space, check all pipes and geyser connections, test for active leaks, and identify the primary cause. We then provide a clear explanation and repair plan.
Comprehensive Repairs
Once we identify the leak source, we repair or replace the damaged pipe or geyser, dry out the affected area, treat for potential mould, and advise on ceiling repairs. We work with your insurance company if needed and provide full documentation of the damage and repairs.
