Advanced leak detection technology and expert precision

Our state-of-the-art leak detection techniques allow us to pinpoint hidden water and gas leaks with minimal disruption to your property, ensuring swift and accurate solutions.

Acoustic Leak Detection - Our advanced acoustic leak detection technology listens for these subtle vibrations, distinguishing between high and low-frequency sounds to locate leaks with pinpoint accuracy. This method is fast, non-invasive, and prevents unnecessary damage to walls, floors, and underground piping.

Thermal Imaging -  By detecting temperature variations in walls, ceilings, and flooring, we can identify hidden leaks in hot water pipes that would otherwise go unnoticed. This infrared-based method allows us to trace the source of a leak without destructive investigations, ensuring faster repairs and reduced property damage.

Our process includes:

  • Inspection – We assess the area to identify signs of hidden moisture.
  • Thermal Imaging – High-tech cameras detect temperature changes that reveal leaks.

What are the common signs of a water leak in my home?

Common signs of a water leak include unusually high water bills, damp or wet spots on walls, floors, or ceilings, mold or mildew growth, the sound of running water when all taps are turned off, and a decrease in water pressure.

How do you detect leaks without causing damage to my property?

We use advanced, non-invasive leak detection technologies such as acoustic listening devices, infrared thermal imaging, and moisture meters to pinpoint the exact location of leaks. These methods allow us to find leaks without damaging your walls or floors.

How to figure out where a leak is coming from?

To figure out where a leak is coming from, start by looking for obvious signs like wet spots, damp walls, ceilings, or floors, and mould or mildew growth. Listen for the sound of dripping or running water. If you can't find the leak, calling a professional leak detection service can help pinpoint the exact location.

Can I leave a leak overnight?

It’s generally not advisable to leave a leak overnight. Even a small leak can cause significant water damage over time, leading to mold growth, structural damage, and higher water bills. If you cannot address the leak immediately, turn off the water supply to the affected area to prevent further damage until it can be repaired.

Does a water leak count as an emergency?

Yes, a water leak can count as an emergency, especially if it’s significant or if water is rapidly spreading, which could cause serious damage to your property. Leaks that involve sewage or potential contamination also require immediate attention. Contact us for emergency leak detection.
