If a Bordeaux water leak has occurred near electrical equipment, report the location and sequence while keeping clear of the affected area until appropriate assessment is arranged.
Put the situation before the paperwork
Tell the booking contact whether water is still present and what equipment or area is nearby. Do not touch wet electrical fittings, open covers or enter an unsafe space to obtain photographs. Where there is immediate danger, move away and contact the relevant emergency service.
- Safe description of the leak location
- Current water condition and observed symptoms
- Other contractor's completed work and open items
Record the sequence from a safe place
Note when the leak was discovered and whether electrical symptoms were observed before or afterwards. Include plumbing or building work already performed. A repaired leak does not itself establish the condition of nearby electrical equipment, and the timing alone should not be treated as proof of causation.
Coordinate the separate assessments
Explain which contractor is addressing the water source and what remains outstanding. Ask for electrical findings and completed repairs to be recorded separately from the plumbing work. If broader certification is also requested, state that scope explicitly rather than assuming the leak-related visit assesses the whole property.

Questions property owners ask next.
Is electrical assessment unnecessary once a Bordeaux leak is repaired?+
Repairing the water source does not assess nearby electrical equipment. Describe the exposure and any symptoms so the relevant electrical inspection or investigation can be arranged.
