Why is a water seepage/leakage survey important?
The survey can identify the real cause of seepage leakage before the repair phase, this helps to prevent unnecessary and costly repairs.
Mold/fungal and bacterial growth due to water seepage/leakage in the building may lead to allergies, asthma, toxic and irritant effects
or other health problems to its occupants.
Delaying proper repairs on the water seepage/leakage damage may cause further damage to your building especially on building finishes
and this may lead to higher repair cost in the future.
