Leak detection across Surrey and London

An unexplained damp patch or a water bill that's crept up for no obvious reason is usually a leak somewhere in the system you can't see. Left alone, that's a slow route to structural damage, damp and mould, so it's worth taking seriously even when it looks minor.

Leak Detection

We use thermal imaging and acoustic listening equipment to trace the source before anyone reaches for a drill. In most cases that means we can pinpoint a leak behind a wall, under a floor or underground without the guesswork, and without opening up rooms that don't need it.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Initial assessment

    We talk through what you've noticed and where, which narrows down where to start looking.

  2. Step 2

    Non-invasive detection

    Thermal imaging and acoustic equipment locate the leak without removing tiles, floors or plasterboard first.

  3. Step 3

    Confirm and explain

    We show you what we've found and what's involved in the repair before anything's opened up.

  4. Step 4

    Repair and reinstate

    We fix the leak itself, and where we've had to open anything up, we leave it ready for making good.

Questions

Leak Detection FAQs

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?

The usual signs are a water bill that's gone up without explanation, damp or discoloured patches on walls, ceilings or floors, a musty smell, or the sound of running water when every tap in the house is off.

What methods do you use for leak detection?

Thermal imaging and acoustic listening equipment, mostly. Both let us trace a leak accurately without cutting into walls or lifting floors speculatively.

Will you need to damage my walls or floors to find the leak?

Usually not to find it. Once located, some leaks need a small section opened up to reach and repair, but we'll always explain exactly what's needed before we go ahead.

How much does a leak detection survey cost?

It depends on the property and how the leak is presenting. We'll give you a free, no-obligation quote once we understand what's going on.
