Watch for early signs
A dripping tap, damp cabinet, slow-draining sink or recurring water mark can indicate a problem worth assessing. Record where it appears and when it happens. Photographs can help explain what you have noticed.
Reduce damage safely
If a fitting is leaking, stop using it and isolate the water supply if you can safely do so. Keep water away from electrical equipment. Notify building management where a shared service or neighbouring unit could be involved.
Treat the cause, not just the stain
Repainting a damp surface without addressing the moisture source can hide rather than solve the problem. Assessment may be needed to identify whether the issue involves a fitting, a pipe, waterproofing or another source.
Ask about the required expertise
Some plumbing work is regulated and must involve appropriately licensed personnel. Share the location, photos and symptoms with SGSA so the proposed scope can be discussed. This guide is not a substitute for an on-site professional assessment.
