Limitations of Service & Inspection Process
Limitations of Service
- Leak detection does not guarantee the successful identification of all leaks.
- Some leaks, especially small or silent leaks, may be difficult to identify due to their complexity or concealed location.
- Leak detection services do not include repairs or restoration of any areas opened or disturbed unless agreed in writing before service.
Inspection Process
- The Client authorizes Handyman297 Contractor to perform all necessary inspections to locate leaks. These may include accessing restricted or concealed areas such as behind walls or under floors.
- Any modifications to the property, such as drilling, cutting, or removal of surfaces, will only be performed with the Client’s prior consent.
- The Client is responsible for any property alterations made as part of the detection process unless otherwise agreed.
Repair & Restoration Policy
- Leak detection and diagnostics are provided as a standalone service. Any repair or restoration must be quoted and approved separately.
- In cases where access requires cutting, removal of tiles, drywall, or fixtures, restoration is not included unless specified in advance.
Leak Detection Accuracy
-
Our tools typically provide 85–95% accuracy, depending on:
- Pipe type (e.g., copper, PEX, PVC)
- Ground/floor material (e.g., concrete, soil, tile)
- Depth and access to the piping system
Some difficult or complex cases may require follow-up visits or alternative testing methods.
