• 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 Ins Property Claims, we help locate the cause of issues like leaks without causing unnecessary damage to your property. Until we expose the source of the problem and prepare it for repair, we use non-invasive methods wherever possible. In fact, nine times out of ten, we only need to remove one or two floor tiles or boards. This minimal removal allows us to access a leak beneath the floor, saving you disruption and avoiding unnecessary mess.

We use advanced technology such as thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and endoscopes to accurately locate leaks. Ground microphones, tracer gases, and dyes help us identify the exact source of damage. When dealing with rainwater infiltration or rising damp, we go further by testing plaster or concrete samples — for example, a salt test helps pinpoint the issue efficiently.

Importantly, Ins Property Claims provides a full service, including locating, accessing, and repairing leaks. This also includes producing a detailed report, recognised by insurance companies, which outlines all damage found, how we identified the source, and any required access work. We also offer expert advice on any further action needed to address ongoing damage or dampness.

Our team works diligently to minimise disruption to your routine, maintaining cleanliness and efficiency at all times. We don’t just fix the immediate issue — we offer long-lasting solutions to help prevent problems in the future. The result? Peace of mind and a safe, dry home.
