i love leak detection so much i bought all the equipment but using plumbers common sence and experiance i normally find the problem without using all the tech i have, looks good getting it all out to show the customer albeit a expensive outlay, does work though when needed great vid mate
@@Heatking you’re welcome and hope you are well I had a rather bad drainage problem in the bathroom, the bath and sink are all in one leading to the toilet drain and used to run away unbelievably slowly (big puddle in bathtub when showering) I tried everything including phosphorus acid but since purchasing a trigger pump from Temu for £14 it’s improved it much much better👍👍
@@marcusmaximus451 £14, that’s a bargain, especially if it did the job! Just put it on the bill haha! Yeh I’m all good mate. Hope you are too! Silly season is picking up now!
No matter how many times we turn water off and open basin taps, we never learn 😂 Top find that mate, how long did that take you in the end? Top video as always and you seem a bit happier in more recent videos 👍 keep up the good work
@@killerbean9911 thank you mate! Glad I’m seeming happier haha. Sometimes I don’t mean to come Across grumpy lol. It took me about 1.5 hours in total that one :(
Had something similar happen. Water started to drip through a ceiling onto someones car in a garage. Turns out when i got to pipe through the ceiling, someone screwed through a pipe 15years earlier when the did the bathroom above. Guessing cos it was plastic it sealed itself
@@Heatking We’ve got them in our house. As soon as you touch them they leak. I changed a radiator, the fitting in the wall sprung a leak so I cut the whole section out. Put the section I had cut out on a pump and took it to 6bar and held 🤷🏼♂️
Geeeze weeezeee. I almost thought you were gonna fall through the toilet floor seeing how flimsy the whole floor was. Also don’t you know better that if you stick your fingers in a dark hole and they come out wet 💦 you are doing something right ? 😂 ( GLOVES DAN GLOVES FFS) Thanks for another great one buddy love ya man
I enjoyed editing this one actually. Something a little different! Hope you enjoy! 🎉❤
Very tenacious Dan, and very entertaining...👍
@@can-be-askedhandymanproper3015 cheers pal!
Nice work Dan
great to watch, just shows how hard it can be to get at some difficult leaks, especially when the customer says don't damage my ceiling
Yeh absolutely! Think some of

Great video but I don’t know why but I cracked up when you gave that wall some finger action 😂😂 ffs

For this detective work alone I think it’s a chief constable’s commendation and a promotion to chief inspector
@@dmarriott9701 haha absolutely love that 😂😂
Nice find on that leak Dan, and that rad design looks like an accident waiting to happen! , cheers 👍
The rad design was awful!! And yeh I enjoyed finding this one!
Brilliant Dan 👍🏻
@@MegaShan001 thank you brother!
Did a good job with the rad 😁👍💪

Great find and great work 👍
Thank you buddy
Curious as to how much you charge for leak investigation and sorting ? You just doing hourly rate ? Plus parts ?
Just hourly rate mate. £70
First hours £40 every hour after plus materials yeh. :)
No matter how many times we turn water off and open basin taps, we never learn 😂
Top find that mate, how long did that take you in the end?
Top video as always and you seem a bit happier in more recent videos 👍 keep up the good work
@@killerbean9911 thank you mate! Glad I’m seeming happier haha. Sometimes I don’t mean to come
Across grumpy lol. It took me about 1.5 hours in total that one :(
@@Heatking not too bad then at 1.5 hours, normally takes me that long to find the motivation to start 🤣

Leaks will hold for. This one had me shocked haha
Cant beat a bit of key-hole surgery plumbing👊🏼😁
@@russellbaldry5095 aha cheers mate. However surgeons get paid more than us haha
Like that steel tape measure bud. What make is it. Keep plodding on. Good work
@@thepm3972 hey mate. It’s actually off tiktok shop! 😂😂😂 thank you!
Where did you buy that inspect camera from? And how much was it?
@@therealist4550 it’s a Todays tools one, I don’t think they sell them anymore, it was about £30-£40. But worth a google!
Osma gold fittings, don't see them too often nowadays
@@pallsmortion4750 is that what they was! Thank you mate!
Nice job,
hope you quoted a powerflush
@@plumbertime not on this one. They have the boiler covered under contract so I just advised and they was going to pass it on.
@@Heatking nice
I don’t envy them tight spaces 👍🤦♂️
Well done with that leak.
@@jameswilson2899 thanks mate! Bit of luck involved!
How can you have a fully tiled bathroom and then say oh you cannot come from the ceiling, better plaster than tiles up. Good vid mr 🎉
@@wolvolad25 thanks Matt! Yeh I thought that at the time but thankfully it helped me find the leak haha!
@@Heatking you be expert at child birth after getting that pipe out
@@wolvolad25 😂😂😂 maybe that’s my calling. A midwife 😂
@@Heatking plumber and midwife lol
being a lazy sod I would have gone via the ceioling below to fond it!
Can’t believe they didn’t want you to go through the ceiling? Far far less disruption than ripping tiles up
@@cannontrodder true, but I wouldn’t have found the leak on this occasion, through the ceiling :(
@@Heatkingit was a hell of a find, imagine if it’d been 3ft up the wall!
That’s those horrible Osma fittings from about 18-20 years ago
@@Sithomas80 yeh that’s probably how old this house is haha

Dan the 🐐
@@professorplumb I doubt that 😂😂
When all else fails reach for the stikum stuff lol
@@TomChapman-wv9iq haha, stikum
😂😂😂
Why do people worry about hole in the ceiling when it’s 10mins repair after cut hole put bit back fill simples
@@alansmith9412 to be fair if I’d of gone through the ceiling on this one. I wouldn’t have found the leak haha
Thanks
Thank you so much mate! ♥️👍🏼♥️
@@Heatking you are welcome 👌 Great video BTW 👏👏
@@AlexRocks24-7 you’re a legend ♥️
That was a tricky b.... to get at!!
@@mistermikeanson😂 Agreed mate.
What a dumb design that towel rad is. Definitely style over substance.
If the client didn't take your advice I would have left. Can't work miracle
Cheers mate and no you absolutely can’t!
Nearly 6k 😮
@@wolvolad25 thank you so much mate! Yeh nearly! It’s dragging haha
That towel rad 🤢🤢🤢 what a weird design.
@@colin4685 haha was a proper crappy design that.
How can they want tiles removed and cut the plasterboard wall rather than making a hole in the ceiling down stairs 🤯
@@damon9153 haha I don’t think I’d of found the leak if they wanted me to cut the ceiling, so thankfully they opted for the tiles!
@@Heatking yeah I commented at the start I’ve just finished watching 😂 great job mate 👍🏻
@@damon9153 haha cheers mate
I feel your pain
