A condominium owner at The Trilinq in Clementi reported water dripping from the ceiling board above his bathroom. The leak volume was inconsistent, and GC Werkz traced the moisture up to the ceiling slab around the neighbour’s wastewater drain pipe. Although the neighbour’s contractor suggested that the water came from the client’s storage heater tank, GC Werkz used inspection video evidence to show residual water gathering under the slab, dripping onto the storage heater tank pipes, then rolling off onto the ceiling board. The client was advised to follow up with the neighbour. GC Werkz was not engaged by the neighbour for the subsequent repair work.

Bathroom Ceiling Leak Diagnosis at The Trilinq, Clementi
A condominium owner at The Trilinq in Clementi reported water dripping from the ceiling board above his bathroom. The leak volume was inconsistent, and GC Werkz traced the moisture up to the ceiling slab around the neighbour’s wastewater drain pipe. Although the neighbour’s contractor suggested that the water came from the client’s storage heater tank, GC Werkz used inspection video evidence to show residual water gathering under the slab, dripping onto the storage heater tank pipes, then rolling off onto the ceiling board. The client was advised to follow up with the neighbour. GC Werkz was not engaged by the neighbour for the subsequent repair work.
Work summary
What was done
The details below summarise the reported issue, confirmed finding, work scope and completed outcome.
Water was dripping from the ceiling board above the client’s bathroom, with inconsistent leak volume.
GC Werkz traced the moisture to the ceiling slab around the neighbour’s wastewater drain pipe. Inspection video showed residual water gathering under the slab and dripping onto the storage heater tank pipes before rolling off and dripping onto the ceiling board.
Inspect bathroom ceiling board leak
Trace moisture above the bathroom ceiling
Check the ceiling slab area around the neighbour’s wastewater drain pipe
Review whether the leak was related to the client’s storage heater tank
Use inspection video to document water movement
Advise the client to follow up with the neighbour
Provide diagnostic clarification on the suspected leak source
The work focused on identifying the leak source rather than carrying out repair works. GC Werkz traced the moisture path, reviewed the alternative explanation raised by the neighbour’s contractor, and used inspection video evidence to clarify that the observed leak path was from above the client’s ceiling area rather than from the client’s storage heater tank
GC Werkz identified and documented the suspected leak source above the client’s unit and advised the client to follow up with the neighbour. The neighbour declined to engage GC Werkz for the follow-up repair work.

Project FAQ
Common questions about this project.
What was the reported problem at The Trilinq condominium unit?
The client reported water dripping from the ceiling board above his bathroom, with the leak volume varying over time.
What did GC Werkz find during the inspection?
GC Werkz traced moisture to the ceiling slab around the neighbour’s wastewater drain pipe and documented residual water gathering under the slab before dripping onto the client’s ceiling area.
Was the leak from the client’s storage heater tank?
GC Werkz’s inspection video showed water dripping onto the storage heater tank pipes from above before rolling off onto the ceiling board, so the observed leak path was not from the storage heater tank itself.
Did GC Werkz carry out the final repair work?
No. GC Werkz advised the client to follow up with the neighbour, but the neighbour declined to engage GC Werkz for the follow-up repair work.
Why was diagnosis important in this case?
The diagnosis helped distinguish between a suspected storage heater issue and water entering from above the client’s unit, reducing the risk of unnecessary work on the wrong area.
