Agree what needs opening and what happens afterwards
The evidence helps shape the proposed access. We explain the plumbing repair and surrounding disruption before the work proceeds. Included parts and materials are used for the agreed repair, followed by suitable checks and a report of the findings. Decorative restoration is a separate stage to plan around that work.
When this investigation may help
- A concealed pipe confirmed as leaking
- An investigation that needs to progress to repair
- A private supply requiring access
- A heating circuit with an identified plumbing fault
A method suited to the evidence
Narrowing the enquiry to the section of pipework that needs attention. A pressure change does not pinpoint an opening location. The engineer selects suitable conditions for the actual system.
Depending on the property, other appropriate methods may complement the investigation. Read about pressure testing and isolation or compare the methods.
