moonhowler When we are not sure where the actual leak is wouldnt it better to find the source by injecting a colored dye to figure out the source of the pipe thats damaged?
Say for example, the end flow is at the front porch; where the water is dripping.
We suspect its coming from the top floor bathroom, but there are couple of piping from the main that goes into the bathroom.
By injecting one by one with diff color, we could determine which pipe is the culprit.

QUOTE(moonhowler @ Aug 3 2017, 03:26 PM) Very good question VeeJay, Its always good to do initial investigation / inspection if the leaking condition is too complicated and to determine which area toilet leaking. We call this ponding test
And for your case, the problem should be Waterproofing issue if the leaking occasionally drip. Usually if the water dripping day and night with constant dripping speed, most likely its due to piping.
There are many brands of cementitious type waterproofing in the market. And most of them does work well as long you follow the manufacturer guides instruction. And contractor must have some basic knowledge how to apply. I will soon come out with some technical drawing details waterproofing.
Yup Water ponding is other method, but its more for flooring, as for piping I was referring to Dye testing. Wonder why its not common in Msia? https://www.pollardwater.com/pages_product/dyesdata.asp |

QUOTE(zeese @ Mar 1 2018, 07:25 PM) I'm not changing tile! I'm putting epoxy coating on the floor.. It's like you spread a glue (epoxy coating) all over the floor (no tile removal), then sprinkle a colorful flake on it, then finish it off by spreading a last layer of clear epoxy coating above it.. Interesting, didnt realize such a product/solution exist! thanks for sharing. Did you DIY or hired a contractor. I just goggled and found pretty straight forward in application, but a little pricey, i think? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LBT_3JnJ3Ehttps://www.lazada.com.my/epoxy-colour-flak....750b126c5SK8tC |

QUOTE(Fortezan @ Mar 27 2018, 10:59 AM) Is there a way to check water leakage for pipe concealed in a wall? Any sensor which can pin-point the exact location where the leakage occur? infrared camera/thermal imaging; water dye; some of the methods, but I doubt its available in larger scale in Msia |
