While i don’t know that this is what your chap has done, there are devices which i thought were called meggers but are apparently time domain reflectometers that bounce a signal down the wire and time how long it takes to come back. That tells you how far it is to the break. As far as I’m aware there isn’t anything magic that can trace a cable in walls? If there is, reddit, please let me know.
