Check the plumbing possibility in context
We compare affected surfaces and assess relevant accessible fittings and concealed routes. Moisture readings can help map a pattern; suitable pipe checks help test a plumbing explanation. If the evidence points away from a pipe leak, we explain the limits of the findings and the need for another type of specialist.
When this investigation may help
- Damp returning after surface repairs
- Moisture beside a suspected pipe route
- A wall or floor that stays wet
- Unexplained staining in an internal space
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.
