What is water leak detection?
Water leak detection pinpoints hidden leaks inside walls, floors, roofs and concealed pipework without breaking up your property to find them. The exact source is located first, so any repair is precise and minimal.
Signs you may have a hidden leak
- Unexplained jump in your water bill
- Damp patches, stains or peeling paint
- Musty smell or mould growth
- Sound of running water with taps off
- Dropping tank level or water pressure
- Cracked, lifting or hollow-sounding tiles
How we find it — non-destructive methods
- Acoustic leak detection — sensitive listening equipment
- Thermal-imaging cameras
- Tracer gas detection
- Moisture meters & damp mapping
