• Rising damp
• Ingression of rainwater

Non-invasive leak detection

• Have water damage to floor coverings, ceilings or walls?
• A spinning water meter but nothing in use within the house or a high water bill?
• Loft tanks constantly running?
• Combination boiler losing pressure?
• Is your plumber / builder scratching their heads and you’re worried that everything must be excavated or taken out to locate the cause?

At Leak Detection, we help locate the cause of issues like leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Furthermore, until we expose the source of the problem and prepare it for repair, we use non-invasive methods. For example, nine times out of ten, we only need to remove one or two floor tiles or boards. This limited removal lets us access a leak beneath the floor, saving on disruption and avoiding unnecessary mess.

Additionally, we use advanced technology like thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and endoscopes to locate leaks accurately. Moreover, ground microphones, tracer gases, and dyes help us identify specific sources of damage. When rainwater infiltration or rising damp present challenges, we go even further by testing plaster or concrete samples. For instance, a salt test helps us pinpoint the exact issue efficiently.

Notably, we provide a full service, including locating, accessing, and repairing leaks. This service also includes producing a detailed report, which insurance companies recognise. Importantly, the report outlines all damage caused, how we found the source, and required access work. Additionally, we provide advice on any further work necessary to address ongoing damage or dampness.

Our team works diligently to minimise disruption to your routine, maintaining cleanliness and efficiency. Indeed, we don’t just address the immediate problem but offer lasting solutions to prevent future issues. As a result, you gain peace of mind and enjoy a dry, safe home.
