Work from accessible connections towards hidden routes
We review the pattern of use and inspect suitable accessible plumbing first. Where the evidence points to a concealed supply, isolation and relevant tracing can help narrow the route. We explain the likely access and consider the surrounding fitted furniture when agreeing the plumbing work.
When this investigation may help
- Damp at the base of kitchen cabinets
- Wet flooring with no visible source
- Moisture near an appliance supply
- Water appearing after sink or utility use
A method suited to the evidence
Comparing damp patterns across the affected area. Meter readings can be influenced by the material and other factors. Damp does not by itself establish a leaking pipe.
Depending on the property, other appropriate methods may complement the investigation. Read about moisture mapping or compare the methods.
