A free printable leak repair record sheet — where the water showed, every test made, where the source was found, the repair made and the pressure test after.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.

Show the reasoning as well as the repair. An insurer, a landlord or the next engineer can then see what was checked and what was ruled out.
Leak detection specialists, plumbers and heating engineers called to find a leak, and property managers who need the visit written up for a claim.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: Where the water showed, what was tested and ruled out, where the source turned out to be, and the repair made.
Your test, your figure. What a pressure test is run at and how long a system is left to hold are your call for that pipework and its material, made under your scheme's guidance and the rules where you work; the test line has blanks for both. Where the water showed and where it came from are usually two rooms — write both.

Because the right test for a system depends on its material, its age and what it normally runs at, and is chosen under your scheme's guidance. The line has blanks for the figure you chose and how long it held, so the record is yours.
Yes — those are the useful lines. A leak record that only names the source cannot show why the loft, the bathroom and the mains were not to blame, and that is exactly what an insurer or a second engineer wants to know.
