How we find a hidden leak
The engineer chooses the right equipment for your property. You do not need to decide which test you need.
Careful testing before opening up
Heat, sound, moisture and pressure can help narrow down a leak. We compare the findings with your pipework and symptoms before explaining any access required.
Thermal imaging cameras
Surface temperature patterns help guide an investigation into heating routes and possible moisture.
How this method worksAcoustic listening equipment
Sensitive microphones help compare the sounds associated with escaping pressurised water.
How this method worksTracer gas detection
Trace escaping gas from suitably prepared water pipework when other clues are limited.
How this method worksMoisture meters & mapping
Compare readings across affected surfaces to understand the distribution of damp.
How this method worksPressure testing & isolation
Assess which section of a system deserves closer investigation.
How this method worksBorescope & endoscopic cameras
Look into accessible voids to support an investigation with direct visual evidence.
How this method worksLeak noise correlation
Compare leak-related sound between suitable points on a pipe network.
How this method worksDye testing & water-path checks
A visual way to investigate some accessible water routes and intermittent leak symptoms.
