The story behind this project in Damac Hills
The water bill doubled in two months and nothing in the villa was visibly wet — which is the worst kind of leak to live with.
First visit: what we walked into in Damac Hills
We isolated sections and watched the meter. The loss was on the hot supply to the master bathroom, buried in a wall chase and corroding at a fitting that had been over-tightened years earlier.
The promise we made the owner of this four-bedroom villa
We promised to find the leak before opening anything, and to open only what we had to. No exploratory demolition, no guessing, and every wall we did open made good and repainted.
The moment the project turned
The acoustic survey narrowed the leak to a 600 mm stretch of wall. We cut one neat opening, found the corroded fitting exactly where predicted, and the owner saw the difference between diagnosis and demolition.
Craftsmanship that made the difference
We replaced the run rather than patching the joint, sleeved the pipe through the chase so it can move without abrading, and pressure-tested at one and a half times working pressure for two hours before closing up. Drainage falls were corrected so the shower clears fully.
Handover day in Damac Hills
We tested every fitting, checked the meter with all outlets closed to confirm zero loss, and made good the wall and paintwork.
