01
The problem
A bedroom wall in a resale flat kept blooming with damp patches. Three contractors had repainted and re-plastered it over two years. The patch always returned.
02
What we did
Thermal imaging traced the moisture path upward - not sideways from the adjacent bathroom, as every contractor had assumed, but down from a hairline crack in the terrace parapet two floors above.
03
The outcome
One targeted waterproofing repair at the parapet, confirmed by a follow-up thermal scan. The wall has stayed dry through a full monsoon since.
