A warm floor or repeated water-heater cycling can be a clue to hot-water loss, but neither confirms the leak location. An assessment needs to distinguish a hot supply line from a heater fitting, fixture connection or other source. Tell the person assessing the property when warmth is noticeable, whether hot-water performance changed and which rooms or fixtures are affected.
Once the affected circuit is identified, compare access to a damaged section with bypassing the line through a different route. Ask what happens to the old pipe and how new connections will be checked. Heated water and nearby electrical or gas equipment introduce hazards; do not dismantle equipment to investigate. Confirm the pipe-work scope and restoration separately from any water-heater diagnosis.
