Moisture is noticed after a period away
Describe the first observation and any known automated water use during the absence. A damp floor alone does not locate a pressurized pipe leak.
The absence period does not date the leak
Moisture first noticed after time away may have begun at an unknown point during the absence. State that uncertainty and identify known automatic water use or maintenance visits. The first observation date is useful, but it should not be presented as the start of an underfloor fault without supporting evidence.
Ask what can be confirmed on the first assessment
Provide the accessible room and floor details and any existing supply records. The assessment should distinguish a currently implicated line from an old or unexplained mark. If access below flooring is proposed, ask what question it answers and which alternative source remains unassessed before approving finish removal.
Distinguish the source before planning access
Ask whether evidence can locate an underfloor source without treating the time away as a diagnosis. Detection, pipe repair and floor restoration can involve separate scope items.
