- Building Inspection
Most of the leaks that happen in homes do not directly start from dripping ceilings or the paint falling off. They start off in a quiet way that most people don’t think it’s a big problem. This grows out to be a major issue with an expensive bill. Hidden leaks grown in silence. leaks , if they are not treated, will grow in walls, under tiles and weaken your building structure.
If you can spot them early, you save money, prevent structural damage and avoid the chaos of last minute repairs. Cyond specializes in smart leak diagnosis for people who want to stay ahead of the damage instead of reacting after the disaster.
Here are 7 signs your building may already be leaking even if everything looks normal on the surface.
- A sudden rise in your water bill
If the amount of water you use has not changed but the water bill has increased, it means that the water is leaking from somewhere. A lot of people just ignore this because the increase in the bill might be small in the beginning. But this might lead to major structural damages if they are continuously ignored. Cyond will help you with these unusual increases in water bill and water leakage with its smart diagnosis tools.
- Hairline cracks keep appearing
These water leaks can cause some moisture pressure to build behind your walls. When water travels through the concrete, it creates hairline cracks. These are the cracks you might find on your walls or ceilings. These cracks will keep coming back no matter how many times you paint over them. This is a sign of internal water leakage and should be taken seriously and treated as soon as possible.
- Musty smell coming from some corners
In case there are no physical signs of a water leakage, there might be different kinds of signs. One of them is a musty smell that might come from your walls. The hidden moisture, microbial activity and slow seepage can create a damp odour. If that smell is stronger in certain areas, then it means that the source of water leakage is nearby. Cyond uses moisture mapping to identify pockets of dampness under tiles, behind wardrobes and between floors.
- Hollow sounds in walls and floors
There are other ways you can test if there’s a water leakage in the house. Tap a wall or tile. If the sound feels hollow or a little softer than normal, the water may have weakened the structure of the building. This usually happens in bathrooms, kitchens and balconies. People often think that this is poor construction but many times it’s an early sign of water leakage.
- Electrical short trips
If the water leakage travels near an electrical outlet, it might be a problem. If one switchboard or room keeps tripping, there might be moisture that is seeping into those conductors. This should not be taken lightly. It can cause a major safety concern for everyone living in the building. Cyond’s leak detection technology is built to pinpoint leak paths without breaking your walls.
- Paint starts looking patchy
A lot of people wait for the paint of walls to bubble or peel off. But patchy, dull or uneven paint tones can appear much earlier. These changes happen when moisture spreads beneath the surface. The paint absorbs it and loses its original finish. This is one of the easiest early signs to spot.
- Floors being uneven
If your flooring feels uneven or slightly raised, there might be a chance that water is traveling under the tiles. When the leak sits under the floor, it spreads faster and damages insulation, electrical points and the base concrete. Cyond’s team handles underfloor leak diagnosis without ripping out the entire flooring.

• Data based reports that help you plan long term maintenance
FAQs
- Can a hidden leak damage the structure of the building?
Yes. Continuous seepage weakens concrete, erodes steel reinforcement and creates long term structural risk.
- How fast can Cyond detect the source of a leak?
Most inspections are done the same day. Their smart tools reduce the need for breaking walls or floors.
- Do AC drain lines cause hidden leaks?
Often. Faulty AC drain lines inside walls are one of the biggest hidden leak sources.
- Can fresh paint hide signs of leakage?
Only temporarily. Moisture returns and ruins the paint within weeks.
Conclusion
Hidden leaks are not silent accidents. They are early threats that grow while you look the other way. If you want to protect your building, save repair costs and avoid structural damage, this is the right time to act.
