New apartment with damp patches on ceiling below balcony; builder handover claimed finishes complete.

• Visual survey + moisture meter mapping around balcony junctions and internal cavities.
• Checked balcony slope, drainage outlet, and external brickwork junctions.

• Localized concealed seepage at balcony junction; moisture readings high inside cavity.
• Hairline cracks and poor plaster finish near window jambs.

Client negotiated repair under builder warranty; remedial waterproofing completed and verified — avoided private repair cost.

“Housepedia found what the builder missed and helped us get it fixed before moving in.” — S. G., Gurgaon

Frequent trips and sparking at a socket; concern for appliance safety and fire risk.

• Earth resistance test, DB inspection, insulation resistance checks and clamp-meter load measurements.
• Visual inspection of socket terminations and wiring routing.

• Earthing resistance above recommended limits; one circuit overloaded by multiple high-draw appliances.
• Loose lug at a socket causing arcing under load.

Immediate isolation and repair recommended; client carried out earthing upgrade and redistributed loads — reduced trip events and improved safety.

“Clear, actionable advice — we fixed the priority issues quickly and felt safer.” — R. V., Noida

Rising water bills and damp patch on ceiling below bathroom, no visible source on surface checks.

• Acoustic and pressure leak detection, tank float valve inspection and flow tests on risers.
• Checked overhead tank, inlet filters and outlet connections.

• Slow concealed leak at a joint inside a wall cavity; float valve intermittently stuck causing overflow.

Joint sealed and float valve replaced; follow-up showed drop in water bills and no recurrence of dampness.

“They found a tricky concealed leak that others missed — precise and efficient.” — M. K., Delhi

Recurring ponding on podium and terrace leading to seepage into lower parking levels and external facade staining.

• Visual crack mapping, ponding measurement, drainage & scupper checks and non-destructive moisture spot testing.
• Inspected membrane condition and fall/Layout of terrace/podium slabs.

• Insufficient slope at critical zones, degraded membrane, blocked scuppers and localized cracking near expansion joints.

Priority re-leveling of falls, replacement of membrane at hotspot areas, clearing drains and scuppers. Society avoided major structural repairs by timely intervention.

“The audit gave our RWA a clear maintenance plan and budget — very practical.” — Committee Chair
