Leak detection and infrastructure: SOP

Leak Inspection Report SOP

Use this when: Reports differ by technician, and managers or insurers keep coming back with questions.

Owner: [operations lead]

On site:
1. Record the address, unit, date, who gave access and who reported the leak.
2. Photograph the visible damage before starting.
3. Note the method and equipment used at each test point.
4. Record readings and where each one was taken.
5. Mark the suspected source on a plan or photo.

Report, within [your target time]:
6. Summary: what was found, and how confident you are.
7. Evidence: photos and readings.
8. What couldn't be accessed or tested.
9. Recommended next steps, by trade.
10. Have a second person review it.
11. Send it to the agreed contact and file it by address.

Before you use this: Separate what you observed from what you suspect. Reports may be used for insurance or disputes.

Fill in the items in square brackets and adapt this to your business. It's a starting point, not legal or professional advice.
