Leaks in domestic properties need to be dealt with as soon as possible. If they’re not fixed immediately, they can very quickly escalate into much bigger problems, costing huge amounts of money and causing significant damage.

If you have a leak in your home and would like to get it assessed – please get in touch with us via the details at the bottom.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Thermal imaging is a popular, non-invasive method of leak detection. It involves using specialist infrared cameras to determine the amount of infrared light emitted from a particular surface. We can use our thermal imaging cameras to identify the routes that pipe work takes within concrete, and find unusual activity on hot or cold feeds, which can suggest a leak and water pooling.
Moisture Metre Profiling
In addition to this, we can conduct comprehensive moisture surveys of your domestic property, locating any damp floors, ceilings and walls. With this leak detection method, we can precisely locate a leak to a specific area, even if damage isn’t visible to the naked eye. This method is also useful with our recommendations for drying, so you can let your insurance company know.
Tracer Gas Surveys
The tracer gas method involves putting the tracer gas into the central heating pipe work, hot or cold feeds or incoming water supplies. We will then use our specialised gas analyser to accurately locate the gas escaping through the concrete or tile grouting, tarmac and grass. Our gas is 100% safe, non-toxic, non-flammable and renewable, so you can have full peace of mind.
Acoustic Methods
Furthermore, our specialists can use acoustic methods to accurately locate your leak. Acoustic leak detection involves listening to leaks with the use of a microphone which amplifies the quietest of sounds. We can use our acoustic equipment to precisely locate the smallest of leaks on your pipe work – whether this is internally or externally.
Endoscope Cameras
Finally, we can use endoscope cameras to detect leaks in your home. Utilising our endoscopes, our team can get into places where their heads won’t fit – for example, really tight spaces that are impossible to reach. We can then use the cameras to check the waste pipes and other pipe work, without the need to remove any boxing or tiling. This is another completely non-invasive method so it has lots of benefits.
