Leak detection for different care settings
ADI plans each leak investigation around the type of care setting, from residential and nursing homes to dementia care and care groups. Every home has its own routines and access arrangements. Tell ADI about the people, buildings and essential services involved so the investigation can be planned with your team.
Leak detection in residential care homes
Leak investigations in residential care homes are planned around bedrooms, shared bathrooms, dining areas and the home’s daily routine, with a named staff contact.
Arrange room access through that staff contact, and identify suitable periods for testing before the engineer attends.
Leak detection in nursing homes
Make essential water and heating requirements part of the nursing home’s brief from the first conversation, including the services that must remain available.
The home’s responsible staff approve any isolation and the arrangements for affected areas.
Leak detection in dementia care settings
In dementia care settings, explain visitor procedures, staff escort requirements and any areas where unexpected activity should be avoided before the engineer arrives.
Agree how engineers enter occupied areas and move equipment. Your care team remains responsible for resident support throughout the visit.
Leak detection for care groups and retirement living
Care groups and retirement living operators can make one clear enquiry for their estates team, with the practical details agreed for each property.
Share site postcodes, local contacts and priorities. Ask about coordinating visits and consistent reporting across your portfolio.
What to agree with ADI
before a care home visit
Before the engineer attends, agree visitor sign-in, engineer documentation, room access, service isolation and site hazards with ADI, because site arrangements are specific to your home. Give the ADI team a clear brief so practical requirements can be discussed in advance.
- Visitor sign-in and staff escort requirements
- Engineer checks or documentation your home requires
- Resident routines and access to occupied rooms
- Essential services and authority for any isolation
- Relevant site hazards, access routes and parking
