WHAT A CAREFUL DETECTION VISIT MAY COVER

What a careful detection visit may cover

A useful investigation aims to narrow the source before disruptive work is considered.

Will every inspection require breaking concrete?

Not necessarily. Appropriate non-invasive checks may help narrow the location first, though access may still be required for some repairs.

What information should I prepare?

Note when symptoms began, recent water bills, meter observations, affected rooms, and any prior plumbing repairs.

Can a thermal camera prove a leak?

No single instrument should be treated as proof by itself. Readings need to be interpreted with other observations and tests.

What should I ask after testing?

Ask what was tested, what the results show, how confident the location is, and what alternatives or next steps are available.

NEXT STEP

Get clarity before committing to work

Use the guides to prepare questions, then confirm findings, credentials, service availability, scope, pricing, and restoration details directly with a qualified professional.
