Leak Walk: Mark the Leak Before Smearing Sealant Everywhere

Sealing, Leakage Testing & Airside VerificationPROCEED WITH CHECKSField judgment

Core Answer

Locate, mark, and classify the actual leak path before repairing it, then retest the same area after the approved repair cures.

I found leakage at [joint/location]. Do you want this logged and repaired now, and what retest method are we using?

Do not chase leaks around unsecured caps, reach into unsafe test setups, or coat every nearby seam without locating the source.

Random sealing wastes time and can hide the actual failed joint while the leak remains.

Verify against: approved leakage-test procedure, project specification, test-equipment instructions.
