The Drainage and Leak Detection Experts

When it comes to leak detection services, our experts at DASA use specialised equipment to identify the source of the leak. Some of the most common tools used include thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, and acoustic leak detection tools. These tools pinpoint the location of the leak without the need for invasive methods that can cause damage to the building’s structure.

Once the leak has been located, the repair process can begin. Depending on the severity of the leak, different repair methods may be used. For minor leaks, simple repairs such as tightening fittings or replacing damaged pipes may be sufficient. However, more severe leaks may require more extensive drain repairs, including pipe replacement or rerouting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the signs of an internal water leak?

Common signs include damp patches, peeling paint, mould growth, reduced water pressure, unexplained increases in water bills and the sound of running water when no taps or appliances are being used.

How does internal leak detection work?

An engineer uses suitable detection equipment to establish the source and location of the leak. This may include thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, acoustic equipment or tracer gas, depending on the location and type of leak.

Can a hidden leak be found without damaging my property?

In many cases, yes. Leak detection equipment can locate water escaping behind walls, beneath floors and within pipework without unnecessary excavation or damage. If access is needed for repairs, the investigation helps keep it focused on the affected area.

How long does internal leak detection take?

The time required varies according to the size of the property, the location of the pipework and the complexity of the leak. Straightforward leaks can often be located during one visit, while difficult or intermittent leaks may require further investigation.

How much does internal leak detection cost?

The cost depends on the size of the property, the equipment required, the time needed to locate the leak and any repair work that follows. DASA can provide a suitable quote after discussing the signs of the leak and the affected area.

Can leak detection find water beneath floors or concrete?

Yes. Techniques such as thermal imaging, acoustic detection, tracer gas and moisture testing can help locate leaks beneath flooring or within concrete slabs. The most suitable method will be selected based on the construction of the property and the suspected pipe location.

What happens after an internal leak is found?

Once the leak has been located, the engineer will explain the findings and recommend the right repair. This may involve tightening a fitting, repairing a damaged section of pipe, replacing pipework or rerouting part of the plumbing system.

Does home insurance cover internal leak detection and repair?

Some home insurance policies include trace and access cover, which may pay for locating a hidden leak and gaining access to the damaged pipe. Cover for repairing the pipe and any resulting water damage varies, so you should check your policy or speak to your insurer.

Site Investigations

Our site investigation processes and technologies are supported by the same market-leading, live site reporting options as our drainage teams. This means that we are able to share image, video and audio files between field and review engineers in seconds, greatly reducing the traditional lag-time between attendance, decision and next steps.
Reporting

DASA engineers attend a property within 24 hours, fully equipped to undertake a variety of non-invasive investigation techniques in the first instance. This might include electro-acoustic ground microphones, tracer gasses or thermal imaging cameras depending on the scenario presented on site.
Remedial Works

DASA utilise numerous mains water replacement and repair technologies which enable us to isolate and repair targeted sections with the absolute minimum of above-ground disturbance. This includes, moling and pipe-pulling systems which eliminate the need for traditional trench excavations in many cases.
