Bathroom and plumbing pathways
Separate pressurized supply, fixture use, waterproofing, drains, traps, vents and exhaust moisture.
Map supply, fixtures, traps, vents, drains, appliances and condensate routes.
Shower wall and membrane
Waterproofing transitions and penetrations behind tile.
Open connected dossier →Same building. Different hidden stories.
Watch the pathway unfold
Each simulation separates trigger, transport route, visible symptom and verification.
Shower supply leak behind the wall
A pressurized fitting or pipe leaks during use and wets hidden layers before a ceiling or wall stain becomes visible.
Shower waterproofing failure
Water passes grout and finish layers and reaches a failed or incomplete waterproofing transition.
Toilet seal leaks only during flushing or movement
A compromised seal can release wastewater in short events that remain hidden below the fixture.
Drain venting problem siphons a trap
Pressure changes in the drainage system pull or push air through fixture traps, causing gurgling and odor risk.
Fast valve closure creates water hammer
Moving water stops abruptly and sends a pressure wave through supply piping and supports.
See what the layer does to the material
Materials record exposure differently. Their response can reveal a pathway without proving the source.
Cast-iron drain corrosion
Internal scale and thinning alter flow, hold debris and can eventually seep or split.
rust flakes, slow drains, odor and damp joints → ▧Copper PipeCopper pipe pinhole corrosion
Localized corrosion can create a tiny pressurized leak that sprays or mists nearby cavities.
blue-green staining, tiny jets and repeated wet spots → ▧Copper PipeCopper pipe sweating in humid air
Cold water cools the metal below dew point and droplets wet supports and finishes.
uniform droplets, green deposits and wet insulation → ▧PEX PipePEX pipe rubbing against framing
Thermal movement at an unprotected penetration can wear the pipe over time.
