How We Detect & Diagnose Leaks
We use a range of non-destructive methods to locate the exact point of failure:
- Thermal imaging to track heat signatures from leaking hot water or roofline dampness
- Acoustic listening to detect underground or in-wall pipe noise
- Tracer gas injection to find hard-to-isolate leaks under slabs or in long runs
- Moisture and humidity mapping to identify rising damp and secondary water damage
- CCTV drain inspections for overflow or stack line failures
This means we can pinpoint leaks without ripping up floors or cutting into walls unnecessarily.
