We find the leak before we open the wall

How we find it

Guesswork on a hidden leak is expensive: every wrong hole is a repair, a plasterer and a painter. We use the method that suits the pipework and the building.

• Acoustic correlation — listening for the pressure escape on buried or embedded pipe
• Thermal imaging — mapping heat signatures under screed, tiles and timber floors
• Tracer gas — for slow leaks and pipework that is too deep or too quiet to hear
• Moisture mapping — establishing whether the damp you can see is the leak or just where it ends up

Common hidden leaks we get called to

• Underfloor heating loops, particularly in extensions built onto older houses
• Mains supply between the boundary stopcock and the house
• Concealed shower valves and behind-wall cisterns
• Central heating pipework buried in screed
• Waste pipes inside stud walls above a ceiling that has started to stain

Then we repair it

Detection and repair by the same team, on the same visit where the job allows. You get one price, one point of contact and nobody blaming anybody else. We make good where we opened up, and we will tell you straight if a floor or wall finish cannot be matched.
