How do you find pipes before cutting into a floor?

Flooring
Rough-In

Once topping or finish floor covers a slab, every penetration you did not record becomes a guess with a saw in your hand. The T1R Range measures each pipe position from a fixed datum and saves it to a list on the tool, so the as-built exists before the cover goes on. Anyone coring or fastening later works from recorded positions instead of memory.

Locate and record them while they are still visible. Before flooring covers the slab, measure to each pipe and save the positions, so the run is documented before anyone puts a blade or a fastener through it. Once the floor is down those locations only exist in whatever you wrote at the time.
