Water dripping into the unit below, a stain on a shared wall or a riser that will not stop sweating: multi-unit leaks raise the question of whose leak it is. We trace the water to its source across Las Vegas apartments, condos and townhomes so owners, tenants and managers get a clear answer.
How do you find which unit a leak is coming from?
Specialists test the fixtures and supply lines in the unit above or beside the damage, check shared risers and drains, and use moisture mapping and thermal imaging to follow the water path. Pressure and flood tests then confirm which line or fixture is leaking.
In apartments and condos, water rarely shows up where the leak starts. It travels along floor framing, risers and shared walls before appearing in a neighbouring unit. Our apartment and condo leak detection follows that path back to the source so the right party can fix it.
Second-floor bathrooms are the most common culprit, which is why many jobs include shower leak detection. Stains that spread across ceilings are mapped with wall and ceiling leak detection, and ground-floor units in older complexes may need slab leak detection when the leak is under the foundation.
