PIPE CONDITION PHOTO GUIDE
What pipework photos can—and cannot—show.
Clear photos can record visible corrosion, staining, fittings and access. They cannot confirm pipe material, the source of a leak or the repair required.
What a photo may help identify
Use photos to show visible condition, not to diagnose the fault.
Surface deterioration, staining, aged connections and restricted access can all be useful signs, but a photograph alone does not confirm the source of a leak or the full repair scope. On-site inspection helps establish what material is present, where the affected run begins and ends, and which nearby services must be considered.
