Harjot Kaur

Abstract: This case study involves finding the source of leakage and seepage in a ceiling of a room in a penthouse located in posh Versova area of Mumbai, the top metropolitan city of Maharashtra state in India. Running water has been detected on one of the ceilings of a room on level 1 of the penthouse. This case study explores and studies different suspected sources of leakage and moisture and also studies each source in-depth to zero-in the source of water. The study also explores potential causes, including structural anomalies and concealed pipelines, and proposes comprehensive waterproofing and repair strategies to mitigate the problem. The findings emphasize the importance of proper maintenance and timely intervention to prevent long term structural and health hazards in residential buildings.
