How this tool works

Water in a stacked Elmhurst building rarely shows up where it starts. The finder matches three clues, where the water appears, when it happens and what it looks like, to the sources that most often cause that pattern in prewar apartment buildings, co-ops and attached houses.

Rain-only water in a cellar usually points to the combined sewer or the outside stairs. Water that appears when the heat runs points to a radiator. Water on several floors along one wall points to a riser or stack. A sewage smell always means Category 3. The tech who does the walkthrough confirms the real source with thermal imaging and meters.
