The Importance of Professional Water Leak Inspection in NYC

Water leaks can be difficult to locate, especially in NYC’s complex apartment buildings. That’s why professional water leak inspection is so important. Our team at New York Wall Repair uses advanced moisture meters to pinpoint the exact location of leaks, ensuring a quick and effective repair that prevents further damage.

Case Study: Brooklyn Apartment Pipe Leak

Before: The Problem

We were recently called to a Brooklyn apartment where the resident noticed water pooling on the floor and spreading stains on the wall. The leak was persistent, and previous attempts to fix it had failed. Our team arrived promptly to assess the situation.

Inspection & Leak Detection

Using advanced moisture meters, we traced the source of the water to two stress fractures in a PVC pipe behind the wall. These fractures were the result of poor installation, allowing water to escape and seep into the apartment’s structure.

After: The Solution

Our skilled technicians carefully removed the damaged section of the wall, repaired the PVC pipe by replacing the faulty section, and thoroughly dried out the affected area. We then restored the wall to its original, pristine condition.
