Follow the timing as well as the location
We ask which activities precede the wet patch: bathing, flushing, heating or something less regular. Access to the space above is often important. Suitable observations and targeted tests help compare supply, heating and fitting-related possibilities, with the findings explained before any agreed plumbing access.
When this investigation may help
- Drips beneath an upstairs bathroom
- Water staining below another home
- An intermittent mark that grows after use
- Damp near a concealed service route
A method suited to the evidence
Looking inside an accessible void before wider opening is considered. The view is limited by the entry point and obstructions. This camera does not see through solid building materials.
Depending on the property, other appropriate methods may complement the investigation. Read about borescope inspection or compare the methods.
Before the visit
Coordinate authorised access to relevant rooms above. Keep people away from a bulging ceiling and do not make a test hole yourself.
Water around electrics or unstable ceilings needs immediate safety attention. Roof repairs and building waterproofing are outside the advertised package.
From finding the leak to repairing it
The residential package connects the investigation with necessary access, plumbing repair and suitable post-repair checks. Parts and materials are included for the agreed job. The report records the relevant findings, and the plumbing repair has a 12-month workmanship warranty.
