The most common causes of water leakage in buildings are:
- Failed or ageing roof waterproofing: membranes crack, lose adhesion or are damaged by UV and heat over time.
- Weak details: most roof leaks start where the roof meets parapets and walls, at corners, and around pipes, drains and AC bases that pass through the waterproofing.
- Ponding water: insufficient slope or blocked drains leave water standing on the roof.
- Wet areas without proper waterproofing: bathrooms, kitchens and balconies, especially around floor drains and shower areas.
- Plumbing leaks: hidden leaks in supply and drainage pipes inside walls and floors.
- Cracks and expansion joints: unsealed or failed joints let water in as the structure moves.
- Groundwater and rising damp: water entering foundations and basement walls that were not waterproofed from the outside.
- Leaking water tanks: cracks or failed lining in concrete tanks.
