THE PROPERTY.
The house is a Semi detached two-story dwelling within 10 years of age.
CLIENT ISSUE.
On entering the house the client guided me to an area in the living room which had stains and signs of a leak.
Discoveries
As a leak detector I then took the investigation upstairs to the ensuite directly above the damage. On entering the ensuite I could hear the sound of water from in behind the electric shower.
On removing the cover of the electric shower I noticed a 15mm plastic straight connector that had malfunctioned, causing water to run down the stud partition and shower area, into the living room.
Conclusion
The investigation revealed a malfunctioned fitting caused the leak. The leak was repaired and a temporary fix was made to stop the leak.
