The stain may be away from the pipe
Water can move through voids or floor layers before it appears. A damp skirting board may be easier to see than the point of escape. We therefore consider the heating circuit and construction alongside the damage.
Testing should make the search smaller
Where possible, suitable isolation assesses a more specific section of pipework. Thermal patterns or tracer testing may then help support the search. The conditions determine which method is useful; using every instrument is not an objective in itself.
Access and the final finish are different jobs
The necessary access for the agreed plumbing repair is included in the residential package. Replacing tiles, flooring, decorative finishes and remedial reinstatement is separate. Explain the existing floor before booking so those practical consequences are understood.
