Detection & repair
Damp and suspected plumbing leaks
Check whether the moisture evidence supports a water pipe fault.
Is plumbing the right starting point?
We look at the location, timing and spread of the damp together with nearby water services. Moisture readings help describe a pattern, while relevant system checks test possible plumbing explanations. If the evidence points elsewhere, the next recommendation should reflect that.
A useful starting point
Describe changes with weather, heating and ventilation, plus earlier repairs or damp treatments.
Tell us about any earlier investigation, even if it did not identify the source. Knowing which checks were made and what access was available helps us decide what remains useful.
Choose a test that answers a question
Moisture mapping may be useful where the conditions and pipe arrangement suit it. Readings vary between materials and cannot alone prove that a particular pipe leaks.
An investigation can combine methods. We explain the findings and their limits, including when the evidence does not yet justify an opening.
Agree access before the repair
This service is not a full building survey. Condensation, penetrating rain and other defects may need a separate specialist.
Once the proposed work is clear, the agreed plumbing repair is completed with the necessary parts and materials. Suitable checks follow the repair, and the report records relevant observations, work and any remaining matters.
