What the investigation needs to establish
Concrete can obscure both the route and the visible effect of a leak. System checks and appropriate tracing help identify a useful area to investigate. The proposed opening also needs to account for other embedded services and the floor construction.
Bring the useful details
Provide any pipe layout, photographs from construction and details of underfloor heating or electrical services.
Keep the boundaries clear
Detection is affected by construction and conditions. Screed repair, floor coverings and decorative reinstatement are outside the package.
