If bore packing is not done around plumbing lines insertion at external side, then it will create a pathway for intrusion of external rainwater and moisture from air thereby affecting adjacent area wall surfaces. This will also cause damage in the interior elements due to moisture intrusion which can weaken its integrity. If not rectified at right time, it can further deteriorate the associated areas. Hence can hamper residents in long run by creating unhealthy living condition and adding an extra cost for repair works.

If shorting bar is not used at MCB, there are chances of current loss and can generate heat due to which equipment can also get heated.

This can lead to safety & electrical hazard.

Tiles and counter stone being different materials show different movements due to thermal changes. Cement or other grout being a rigid filler material, gets cracked in long run. Use of sealant material will increase its longevity. Its application is easy and cost effective.

Unfilled gaps will lead to water intrusion through it, thereby affecting the floors below. This will lead to further deterioration of wall and ceiling surfaces in associated areas below. Thereby will hamper residents in long run by adding an extra cost and time factor due to repair.

The moisture damage observed is mainly originated due to leak in pipe from Roof. As observed, moisture flow is in walls from roof level and hence damaged the surface. If not rectified soon, moisture will flow and damage the associated/ attached areas. This will hamper occupants by creating unhealthy living conditions and also create high cost of repair.

As seen by infrared image moisture patch noted on balcony wall-ceiling junction & the same moisture is noted inside adjacent bedroom upper side of balcony door. The moisture is originated from above floor balcony outlet area; due to gap between floor outlet & flooring. This gap has become moisture seepage pathway and is spreading moisture in below floor. If this source of moisture is not rectified at proper time, will spread and damage the associated area further. Thereby will create difficulty for occupants by creating unhealthy living conditions and adding extra cost due to its repair.

This window due to current size and low sill height would be a tripping hazard – a safety concern especially for children in homes. If not taken care, can be a safety hazard in future. Its rectification is easy and must be done for safety.

As per standard 1.5 Sq mm is not advisable for 16 Amps socket. Additionally Non ISI marked wires are less fire resistant and have tendency to melt with high loads. They also do not have good insulation. Non ISI marked wires could have less longevity, are less safer and ecofriendly as compared to ISI marked wire. So, it is better to have ISI marked wires which will be a step towards safer home and also would be better in longer run.

Ceiling trap door is used in false ceilings to access plumbing pipes or valves, electrical conduit, AC gas pipe for service, maintenance, and repairs. It might appear a small problem but it is important to provide trap door in false ceiling as there can be chances of leakage in pipe or some problem in AC gas pipe insulation & electrical conduit, which can be easily repaired by providing for it. This will provide access to plumbing pipes, electrical conduit or AC pipe lines during repair which will be saviour for residents in future.
