Thinking of buying or renting a house or condo in Bangkok? Whether the property is brand new or pre-owned, one of the most overlooked—yet critical—issues is water pressure and water flow rate. At NTR Partners, our detailed property inspections in Bangkok, which include both drone-based exterior checks and in-depth interior evaluations, go far beyond just the structure. We test what most buyers never think to check: the actual functionality of the water system.
💧 Hidden Water Problems Can Lead to Expensive Repairs
Low water pressure, slow flow rates, or sudden drops in pressure when multiple taps are used could indicate:
Faulty piping installations
Hidden leaks
Undersized or blocked water supply lines
Poor system design not compliant with local standards
These issues not only affect your daily living experience—imagine trying to shower with a trickle—but they also signal bigger underlying problems that can lead to costly repairs down the road.
🛠 How We Test for Water Pressure and Flow
Many property inspectors don’t test plumbing systems thoroughly. At NTR Partners, we use professional-grade toolsto measure:
Static water pressure (the force in your pipes when no water is running)
Dynamic water pressure (how pressure holds up when taps are opened)
Flow rate at sinks, showers, and washing machine points
We simulate real usage scenarios to determine if the plumbing system meets Thai building standards and international benchmarks. This gives our clients confidence that they’re investing in a property with a fully functional and safe water system.
🏙 Why This Matters in Bangkok Condos and Homes
In many Bangkok buildings—especially older condominiums or townhouses—renovations or retrofits may have been done without proper inspection. Water pumps might be outdated, pipes corroded, or water tanks improperly installed. For new builds, issues can arise from cost-cutting during construction.
