Our first step in finding this leak under a floor was to conduct a visual inspection of the affected area. We looked for any signs of water damage, such as discoloration, dampness, or mold growth.
If there are no visible signs of damage, we would use the latest technologies to detect any areas of increased moisture. This would helped me identify the general location of the leak.
Once we identified the general location of the leak, We used specialized tools to inspect the pipes and fittings in the area.
After finding the source of the leak, we shut off the water supply and cutting into the subfloor to access the damaged area. We then removed the damaged section of pipe or fitting and replaced it with a new one.
After repairing the leak, We tested the system to ensure that the repair was successful and that there are no other leaks in the system. We also inspected the subfloor for any damage that may have been caused by the leak, and made any necessary repairs.
Finally, I advised the homeowner on ways to prevent future leaks, such as regular plumbing inspections and maintenance, and ensuring that any new installations are properly waterproofed.
Overall, finding and repairing a leak under a floor can be a complex and time-consuming process, but, it is important to ensure that the repair is done correctly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.
