Detection methods
Dye testing
Follow selected water routes during a controlled investigation.
What this method contributes
A suitable dye may help trace water through a suspected waste or use-related route. Testing needs a defined question and observation point. Keeping the checks separate can make the result easier to interpret than wetting several parts at once.
Understand its limits
It is not appropriate for every surface or system. Dye testing is selected and managed by the investigator.
A useful result needs the right conditions and context. The method is considered alongside the pipe layout, the symptoms and other findings, rather than treated as a guarantee.
Before the visit
Explain the sequence of fixture use before the leak appears.
From the result to the next step
We explain what the observations support, what remains uncertain and whether further checks or access are appropriate. A hidden pipe still needs physical access for repair; specialist equipment does not remove that practical requirement.
