Map shut-off valves, concealed pipe routes, meters, alarms and repair access before buying a Phuket villa.
A leak is cheaper when it can be found and isolated
Map the incoming supply, tanks, pumps, heaters, irrigation, pool top-up and every isolation zone. Label main and local valves, record meter readings with all outlets closed and test whether bathrooms, kitchens and external systems can be isolated without cutting the whole property.
Inspect concealed routes, flexible hoses, pressure controls, damp areas and safe repair access. Review leak history, water bills, alarm or smart-meter settings and responsibility for pipes crossing shared land. Use the villa utility guide, rainy-season inspection and buyer service.

Fact check
Pipe condition, pressure, water quality, repair access, shared responsibility and costs are property- and date-specific. Use qualified testing and current records.
