Roof & ceiling leakage

Roof and ceiling leakage repair

A wet patch on the ceiling is never where the leak starts. Water travels along the slab and comes out at the weakest point. We trace it back to where it is actually getting in, stop it there, and then repair the ceiling.

You probably need this if…

  • Brown or dark patches on the ceiling that grow after rain
  • Plaster falling off in pieces from the ceiling
  • Steel rods visible on the underside of the slab
  • Water dripping from the ceiling or from a light fitting
Why it happens

What causes it

The same wet patch can come from different places, and each one needs a different fix. This is what we look for on site.

  • 01

    Leakage from the terrace above

    The most common reason. Water enters through a crack or a failed coating on the terrace and travels through the slab.

  • 02

    Rusted reinforcement

    When water reaches the steel inside the slab, the steel rusts and expands. That pushes the concrete cover off the ceiling, which is the plaster you see falling.

  • 03

    Leaking pipe or sunken bathroom above

    If the wet patch is under a bathroom or a kitchen and does not depend on the rain, the source is usually a pipe or the sunken portion above.

  • 04

    Sunshade and chajja joints

    Water enters at the joint between the sunshade and the wall and comes out on the ceiling inside.

How we do it

Our roof & ceiling leakage process

Step by step, in this order. Nothing is skipped to finish a day early.

  1. 01

    Find the source

    We check the terrace, the sunshades and the rooms above, tap the ceiling for hollow patches, and identify where water is entering, not just where it is showing.

  2. 02

    Stop the leak

    Depending on the source we grout the crack, seal the joint or treat the terrace above. The ceiling repair is only done after the water is stopped.

  3. 03

    Chip the loose plaster

    Only the patches that are already loose or ready to fall are chipped out. Sound concrete is left alone.

  4. 04

    Clean the steel

    Rusted steel rods are brushed clean of rust and dust so the new mortar grips the bare metal, and treated to slow down further rusting.

  5. 05

    Repack and finish

    The patch is filled with polymer repair mortar and finished level with the ceiling, ready for putty and paint.

What is included

  • Inspection of the terrace, sunshades and rooms above the wet patch
  • Stopping the leak at its source before any cosmetic repair
  • Chipping, rust cleaning and repacking of the ceiling patch
  • Ladder work. You do not need to arrange scaffolding for normal ceilings
  • Debris cleaning after the work
