What the investigation needs to establish
Supply pipes, wastes, enclosures and surrounding seals can each be involved. Testing needs to distinguish those routes where practical, so the proposed repair addresses the supported cause. We consider how the symptom changes during and after shower use.
Bring the useful details
Record the delay between use and the first sign of water. Mention recent sealant, tray or valve work.
Keep the boundaries clear
Rebuilding an enclosure, retiling and decorative work are not included in the agreed plumbing repair.
A method with a purpose
Dye testing may form part of the investigation when the conditions suit it. We explain what the result supports and what remains uncertain.
