Case Study: Leakage Issue in Residential Premises

Harjot Kaur

Abstract: The case study revolves around finding the source of leakage and seepage in an internal wall of the subject premises which has no pipelines or water outlets connected to it. Lots of moisture and runny water has been noticed in one of the internal walls of a high-rise residential building, although there is no water connection or water source connected directly to the wall. This case study explores and studies different suspected sources of leakage and moisture studies each source in-depth to zero-in the source of water. The study explores potential causes, including structural anomalies and concealed pipelines, and proposes comprehensive waterproofing and repair strategies to mitigate the problem. The findings emphasize the importance of proper maintenance and timely intervention to prevent long term structural and health hazards in residential buildings.
