The Flow Detect notebook
A leak after renovation: useful information to gather
Document the changes before drawing conclusions.
Describe the work
Explain which rooms, floors, fixtures or pipe routes changed and when the water signs appeared. The sequence provides context without establishing liability.
Use existing records
Installation pictures, drawings and contractor findings may reveal routes now hidden by finishes. Provide them if already available.
Agree the next step
The investigation should establish the plumbing evidence and access requirements. Disputes about earlier workmanship need to be handled separately from the factual findings.
Put the information into context
This guide explains common investigation principles. Your property, the available access and the actual test findings determine the right next step. It is not a diagnosis of an unseen system.
