Notarized Case Involving Leakage from an Upper-Floor Unit

Upper‑floor water seepage is one of the most common yet most challenging problems in Hong Kong buildings – the source is hidden, neighbours above and below are involved, and repair liability is difficult to assign. Our case studies document how we use non‑destructive techniques such as infrared thermography, smoke testing, high‑pressure water injection and dye tracing to penetrate tiles and plaster and accurately locate the source of seepage. From luxury high‑rise apartments to old tenement buildings, from window leaks to roof cracks, each case presents a complete investigation logic, a legally compliant pathway, and the key details that ultimately helped clients successfully discharge a seepage order or complete an insurance claim.
