Waterproofing & Leakage
Ceiling leakage repair — from the source above, not just the stain below
A dripping or stained ceiling can come from the roof, a bathroom or a pipe above. We find which, fix it and restore your ceiling.
A brown ring on the ceiling, paint flaking off, or water dripping onto your floor — ceiling leaks are visible, but their cause is usually hidden above.
In a house it is often the roof. In a flat, it is very often the bathroom or kitchen of the floor above. RennovEN identifies the source before anyone starts chipping plaster.
Signs you need this
- Yellow or brown stains on the ceiling
- Dripping even when it is not raining
- Paint bubbling around a light fitting
- Musty smell in a room

Diagnosis
Why it happens
Bathroom above
Failed waterproofing in the sunken slab of the bathroom upstairs is the leading cause in multi-storey homes.
Concealed pipe leak
A leaking joint in a pipe inside the slab drips continuously, rain or shine.
Roof cracks
On top floors, rain entering through roof cracks shows up as ceiling damage.
