Our inspection in Zhra Lbn begins with a walk-through of the bathroom floor, wall junctions, shower area and drain points, checking for hairline cracks, lifted tiles and damp patches. The technician then notes which surfaces are exposed to water and whether the existing layer appears to have failed. Where the problem sits below the floor or behind walls, the inspection records the affected area so the proposed method can be matched to the actual condition. Because local conditions vary from one building to the next, each finding is written up for the owner before any work is recommended, and the choice of method stays with the property owner.
Before the visit, please clear the bathroom floor and the area around the shower and drain so the technician can reach every surface. Note any past leaks, water stains on ceilings in rooms below, or repairs already made, and have those dates ready. If the flat is in a multi-storey building, let the building manager know in advance, since access to shared pipe shafts may be needed. Keep a rough measure of the bathroom floor and wall area in square metres, which helps the quote reflect the real size of the job. With these details in hand, the visit can move straight to the assessment.
For a residential building, shared risers, tanks and pumps are checked as one system.
