Leak Detection Services
Find Hidden Leaks Without the Guesswork
Damp patches, musty smells, or higher water bills? These signs point to hidden leaks causing expensive damage you can’t see.
Traditional leak hunting means ripping up floors, smashing tiles, or cutting through walls. We find leaks without the destruction—using advanced technology to pinpoint exact locations, saving you thousands in unnecessary repairs
Stop Throwing Money at the Wrong Problem
When you’ve got a water leak somewhere in your property, it’s easy to end up chasing shadows. You might start by checking obvious places like visible pipes or radiators, maybe call a plumber to investigate, or even start lifting floorboards, hoping to stumble across the problem.
This approach rarely works and often makes things worse. You end up with unnecessary damage to your property, multiple call-out charges, and the leak still running. Meanwhile, your water bills keep climbing, and the hidden damage keeps spreading.
Professional leak detection is different because it takes the guesswork out completely. Our equipment can hear, see, and trace water movement through your property without any excavation or damage. We pinpoint the exact location before anyone lifts a single tile or digs a hole.
Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak
Not sure if you need leak detection? Here are some things to look out for:
- Mould or musty smells
- Water bills that are higher than usual
- Low water pressure
- The sound of water running when no taps are on
- A boiler that keeps losing pressure
- Floors or walls that feel soft, warped, or uneven

The Smart Way to Avoid Expensive Damage
Just because you can’t see a leak doesn’t mean it’s not causing problems. Water has a way of finding the most inconvenient places to cause damage—behind kitchen units, under bathroom floors, or deep in your foundations, where you won’t notice until it’s too late.
Every day a leak runs undetected, weakening your property’s structure, creating perfect conditions for mould, and running up your water bills. What starts as a small problem can quickly become a major structural issue costing thousands to put right.
The longer you leave it, the worse it gets.
Every day your leak runs, it’s adding to your water bill and causing more damage. Get it found, get it fixed. Call us today on 01204 828 769
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
