Plumbing Leak Detection

Plumbing leak detection is the first crucial step in protecting your home from the hidden damage and mounting costs that undetected water leaks can cause. Whether it’s a mystery damp patch on the ceiling, low boiler pressure, or unexplained spikes in your water bill, early intervention makes all the difference.

With advanced non-invasive technologies and a same-day fix available in many cases, our expert technicians provide swift, accurate diagnosis and repair, saving time, money, and stress.

Why Plumbing Leak Detection Matters

Even the smallest hidden leak can lead to extensive structural damage, mould growth, and wasted water if left unresolved. Traditional methods often involve unnecessary disruption, pulling up floors or removing tiles in the search for the problem.

Modern plumbing leak detection techniques eliminate the guesswork, using tools like tracer gas, infrared thermography, and acoustic sensors to pinpoint the exact source of the leak, fast and with minimal disruption to your property.

Common Signs You Might Have a Plumbing Leak

Damp or discoloured walls, ceilings, or floors
Unexplained rise in water usage or bills
Reduced boiler pressure
Sounds of running water with no visible source
Mould or mildew smells in confined spaces

If you’ve noticed any of the above, it’s important to act quickly. Our leak detection specialists are equipped to investigate, locate, and repair the issue on the same day in most cases, restoring peace of mind and protecting your home.

Advanced Leak Detection Techniques

We don’t rely on trial and error. Our approach combines cutting-edge technology with decades of experience to locate plumbing leaks with precision. Depending on the situation, we may use one or more of the following methods:

Tracer Gas Leak Detection: Ideal for detecting leaks in water pipes that are hidden behind walls or under floors. This method uses a safe, inert gas to locate leaks with high accuracy. Learn more about Tracer Gas Leak Detection.
Infrared Leak Detection: Thermographic cameras identify subtle temperature changes behind surfaces, ideal for pinpointing concealed pipework faults.
Thermal Imagery Leak Detection: This technique visualises heat loss caused by escaping water, helping to quickly identify hidden plumbing leaks.
Acoustic Detection: Sensitive listening devices pick up the sound of water escaping under pressure, even through concrete or beneath tiled flooring.

These technologies allow us to detect leaks in internal pipework, underfloor heating systems, and central heating circuits without the need for invasive exploratory work.
