The point to understand
The floor build-up, pipe material and available test points affect detection. Suitable methods can narrow an investigation without promising the same precision in every slab.
Put it into practice
Locate any plans and identify underfloor heating, floor level changes or previous repairs. Discuss the evidence and practical repair access together.
Keep the limits in view
Access for agreed plumbing work does not include reinstating all floor layers or finishes. Plan those remedial arrangements separately.
