Leak detection for condominium and property managers
Managing a residence or building? We find where the water comes from, common or private part, and give you a report you can present to the owners.
What managers deal with
Risers and service ducts
Leaks on concealed shared pipework
Main meter running fast
Shared water bill rising with no explanation
Shared flat roof
Ingress into top-floor apartments
Residence swimming pool
Falling level and frequent top-ups
What you get
Our job is to provide facts: where the leak is, on which network, and what needs repairing. How costs are shared remains your decision and the owners’.
An established source
- Common or private part identified
- Network and floor concerned
- Photos and readings as evidence
A document to share
- Report readable by non-specialists
- To present at the general meeting
- Can be sent to the building’s insurer
Fewer disputes
- Findings instead of assumptions
- One visit covering several units
- Targeted repair, less disruption
Organising the visit in a building
1. Inform the occupants
The manager informs the owners concerned and arranges access to apartments and plant rooms.
2. Trace the source
We test shared and private networks, unit by unit if needed, until the leak is isolated.
3. Receive the report
The manager receives the report and can share it with owners, the insurer and the repair contractor.

Frequently asked questions
Is the leak in a common or a private part?
That is exactly what the investigation establishes. The report states which network the leak is on and in which unit; cost sharing is then decided under the condominium rules.
Do you need access to every apartment?
Not always. We start with the shared networks and the affected units. Access to other apartments is requested only if the investigation requires it.
Can the report be presented at a general meeting?
Yes. It is written to be understood without technical knowledge, with photos and clear conclusions.
Can you work on the residence pool?
Yes, without draining it: the pool is inspected full, diving if needed, and the pipework is tested separately.
Do you offer consumption monitoring for the building?
Yes, through Water Leak Monitoring, the group’s business dedicated to water consumption monitoring and alerts.
