What the investigation needs to establish
Knowing whether the suspect route is a hot supply, cold feed or a branch serving several fittings changes the testing plan. Available valves and safe isolation help define that boundary. Detection then follows the suspect section and the conditions in the property.
Bring the useful details
Describe hot-water equipment, accessible valves and when the signs change with use.
Keep the boundaries clear
A warm patch is a clue rather than proof. Unrelated appliance faults need their own assessment.
A method with a purpose
Thermal imaging may form part of the investigation when the conditions suit it. We explain what the result supports and what remains uncertain.
