Detection & repair
Shower leak detection
Investigate leaks that appear during or after shower use.
Which part of using the shower matters?
A supply connection, waste fitting and surrounding enclosure behave differently. Where appropriate, testing considers those parts separately and observes the affected space. Reproducing the right conditions is more useful than applying water everywhere at once.
A useful starting point
Describe how long after use the leak appears, where the mark is and whether other bathroom use produces it.
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
Dye testing may be useful where the conditions and pipe arrangement suit it. It is not appropriate for every surface or system. Dye testing is selected and managed by the investigator.
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
Resealing alone may not address the cause. Waterproofing, tiling and enclosure replacement are outside the assumed plumbing repair.
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.
