Central heating pipes beneath floors
Leaks in walls or ceiling voids
Under concrete slab foundations
Behind bathroom tiles or sanitaryware
Kitchen or utility areas with hidden pipe runs
Internal mains supply pipes
How We Detect Internal Leaks
Our engineers are trained in a range of high-precision, non-destructive detection techniques, including:
- Thermal imaging: Detects temperature changes from hot or cold water leaks
- Tracer gas testing: An inert gas mixture is introduced into the pipework and tracked by sensors
- Acoustic detection: Sensitive equipment listens for sound frequencies from leaking water
- Moisture mapping: Identifies hidden damp using specialist tools
- CCTV inspection: For internal drains or concealed pipework access
These methods are safe, accurate, and help us avoid unnecessary damage to your property.
