HOW TO IDENTIFY PLUMBING LEAKS
Identifying that the cause of damp is due to defective plumbing can be straightforward, but often it proves much more difficult. Once water has escaped into the ground it will tend to mimic the effects of rising damp.
There are characteristic signs that allow an experienced surveyor to identify plumbing leaks or to prompt the recommendation of further investigation.
Normally, plumbing leaks may only be verified after the water systems have been thoroughly checked. This investigation can be expensive and difficult in situations where the leak is suspected to originate from neighbouring properties. Fortunately, damage from plumbing leaks is often covered by a householder's insurance policy and this allows costs associated with remedial works to be reimbursed if a leak is proven to exist.
TYPES OF PLUMBING LEAKS PROBLEM
Plumbing leaks can originate from within a property, from outside the property, or from neighbouring homes. Typical defects are water escaping from:
• mains water pipes
• hot and cold water systems
• central heating systems
• waste pipes
• below ground drainage and
• dripping overflows.
