- High-accuracy, non-destructive leak detection in Maidenhead
- All repairs, drying, and restoration handled under one roof
- Reports accepted by all major UK insurers

If any of these sound familiar, don’t ignore them. The sooner a leak is found, the easier and cheaper it is to fix.

What happens during a leak detection survey
A professional leak detection survey is quick and straightforward. The engineers will check visible pipework and key areas, then use specialist tools to trace the leak accurately. Thermal cameras reveal temperature changes, acoustic microphones pick up water movement, tracer gas locates hidden pipes, and moisture meters confirm affected spots. Once they’ve found the leak, you’ll get a clear explanation, photos, and repair advice. Most surveys take just a few hours, depending on the property.

What Happens During Your Survey
Every leak detection visit follows the same structured process, so you know exactly what to expect and what you’ll walk away with.
1. Arrival and walkthrough.
Your named technician arrives in a branded vehicle at the agreed time. We walk through the property with you, noting every area of concern such as damp patches, pressure drops or visible damage, so nothing is missed.
2. Non-invasive testing.
We deploy the right combination of tools for your situation, including thermal imaging to map moisture behind walls, acoustic listening to trace pressurised leaks, tracer gas injection for underfloor pipework, and moisture meters to measure the extent of saturation.
3. Source identification.
We isolate the leak to its precise origin point and confirm the cause — whether it’s a failed joint, a corroded section, a cracked fitting, or external water ingress. We photograph the evidence and explain our findings on-site so you’re never left guessing.
4. On-site debrief.
Pipes inside walls and under floors can crack or shift due to building movement, temperature changes, or old age. Because these leaks are entirely out of sight, they tend to do the most damage before they’re found. A small split in a pipe behind plasterboard might release water 24/7, soaking timbers and insulation without any outward sign until serious damage appears.
5. Written report delivered
Within 48 hours you receive a detailed PDF report by email. This is the document you forward to your insurer, your plumber, or your landlord. It contains everything listed below.
Your report includes
- Confirmed leak location with annotated photographs
- Identified cause (e.g. failed solder joint, cracked compression fitting, degraded pipe section)
- Thermal images and moisture readings showing the affected area
- A clear written summary of findings
- Recommended next steps for repair
- Technician name, qualifications, and date of inspection
- Insurer-ready format accepted by all major UK home insurance providers
