Dripping In A Parkade Ceiling
Parkade drips have several possible sources. Matching the pattern to the source is the work.
Water in a parkade can come from the deck above, from plumbing crossing it, or from groundwater. Catching it early prevents concrete damage and slip hazards.
What to check yourself
- Note whether drips follow rain or weekday use
- Mark the locations on a plan
- Look for staining patterns and calcification
Likely causes
- A plumbing line above the slab
- Deck membrane or joint failure
- Groundwater through the wall or floor
What the investigation does
- Moisture mapping and targeted testing
- Line isolation for plumbing above
- A repair priority list for the strata or owner

Quick answers
What should I do first about this?
Moisture mapping and targeted testing
Can this be fixed without opening everything?
In most cases the investigation narrows the target before any finish is opened. Small access points are sometimes needed to confirm a finding, and that is discussed before anything is opened.
