The Lakes is a serene, family-focused villa community within Emirates Living, developed by Emaar. Known for its greenery, community feel, and lakeside walking trails, it remains a top choice for families and investors. However, many villas in The Lakes are now over a decade old, making snagging and inspection essential to detect wear, structural concerns, or MEP issues before resale, renovation, or rental.

Why Snagging in The Lakes Is Essential
Older communities often hide long-term issues beneath the surface. In The Lakes, our inspections have uncovered:
- Ceiling cracks due to roof water seepage
- Poorly sealed bathroom joints causing slow leaks
- Loose electrical connections and aging sockets
- Outdoor drainage slope issues near garden patios
- AC ducts leaking and blowing warm air
A snagging inspection ensures all defects are caught and resolved — whether you’re preparing to move in, rent out, or sell your property.
What We Inspect in The Lakes Villas
Our 200+ point inspection checklist is powered by advanced tools like:
- Thermal cameras to detect insulation voids and water ingress
- Socket testers for electrical load and safety issues
- Moisture meters to detect hidden damp areas
- Laser alignment tools for flooring and cabinetry assessment
- Sloping tools to inspect terrace and bathroom drainage
We inspect:
- HVAC performance, ducting, and zoning
- Plumbing system: leaks, pressure, and fittings
- Waterproofing in bathrooms, balconies, and rooftops
- Paint finishes, wall cracks, and ceiling transitions
- Flooring condition, tile lippage, and grout
- Windows and door operation, sealing, and locks
