Some of our water leak detection services include:

Acoustic leak detection is a highly effective method for locating leaks within plumbing systems.

We use advanced sound technology to detect the noise from water or fluids escaping from pipes under pressure.

Ideal for both residential and commercial properties, acoustic leak detection is especially useful for identifying leaks hidden underground or within walls where they are not visible.

Utilising advanced infrared cameras, this technique captures temperature variations to visualise areas where leaks may be causing changes in the thermal profile of a building.

This method is particularly effective for detecting hidden leaks in walls, ceilings, and floors and identifying moisture that has not yet manifested visible signs of leakage.

Pressure testing is a critical and precise method to assess the integrity of plumbing and piping systems.

This technique involves applying pressurised air or water to the pipes and monitoring the pressure to detect any drop, indicating the presence of hidden water leaks or burst pipes.

Pressure testing is a definitive approach to ensuring pipelines are secure and leak-free. It is suitable for both new installations and existing systems suspected of leakage.

Causes of Water Leaks

A water leak can cause a lot of trouble, so it’s important to find and fix them quickly. Here are some common causes:

The most obvious reason for a leak is a burst pipe. This can quickly flood your home or business and requires fast action.

Over time, the parts that keep your pipes tight can wear out or get loose. This might start as a small drip and get worse if not detected.

When drains and gutters get clogged, water can’t flow out and might start leaking elsewhere. Keeping them clear can help avoid this problem.

Sometimes the parts like taps or pipes in your plumbing system are faulty or broken, causing leaks. It’s good to get plumbers to check these parts regularly and replace them if they’re not working right.

If the plumbing isn’t effectively installed and maintained, it’s more likely to have leaks. Always use skilled plumbers for installations and repairs to avoid future issues.

Benefits of Leak Detection

Cost Savings

Detecting and repairing leaks early can lead to significant cost savings. Unaddressed leaks can increase water bills and cause costly damages requiring extensive repairs.

Water Conservation

Professional water leak detection helps identify leaks early, conserving water and contributing to environmental sustainability.

Prevents Structural Damage

Water leaks can weaken the structural components of a building, leading to serious issues like mould growth and even foundational damage. Early detection of leaks can help maintain the structural integrity of your property by addressing problems before they escalate.
