5 critical checks before you sign
-
Bathroom floor slope
Use a spirit level — not just a water test. Water must flow clearly toward the drain, with no pooling in corners or under the shower.
-
Every power outlet
Plug a tester into every socket — do not spot-check only. Verify switches, earthing (where fitted), and no abnormal heat.
-
Tile joints
Shine a flashlight at 45° to reveal uneven joints, hollow tiles, or deep gaps — especially in wet areas and balconies.
-
Doors & sliding panels
Open and close at least 5 times. Listen for rubbing, check gaps. Dragging doors often mean warp or frame misalignment.
-
Room noise
Stand quietly for 1 minute. On humid Koh Samui, pipe and drainage issues often show up as noise before visible leaks.
