The same 73 episodes, grouped by what they are actually about.
- Flats, leaseholders and access Getting into the flat above: refused entry, absent tenants, managing agents and what a landlord or leaseholder actually needs to know before a survey.
- Ceilings, walls and tiles Leaks above a ceiling or behind a tiled wall: what can be found without taking the tiles off, and how the sound travels through the structure.
- Under floors and concrete Solid floors, screed and slabs: the hardest places to find water, and how a leak is pinpointed without breaking the floor up to look.
- Buried pipes and mains Supply pipes, water mains and leaks outside the building: gardens, driveways, estates and everything traced without digging first.
- Central heating Heating circuits, pinhole leaks and pressure loss: leaks that show as a falling gauge or a warm patch rather than a puddle.
- Damp, moisture and meters Damp patches, high moisture readings and water meters: telling an active leak apart from water that is already in the structure.
- Commercial buildings Offices, estates and multi-floor premises: surveying a building that cannot stop trading while the leak is found.
- How the equipment works Ground microphones, correlators, tracer gas and thermal imaging: what each one actually detects, how accurate it is, and when engineers reach for which.
