Some access may be needed depending on where the leak is. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum where possible. If reinstatement, restoration, or repairs after access are required, that may involve additional works depending on the situation.
We use a range of leak detection methods and technology to help locate the source with a non-destructive approach where possible (sometimes described as Non-Destructive Leak Detection), while staying guided by the evidence on site. Depending on the situation, this can include:
Thermal imaging and infrared checks using thermal imaging cameras (including FLIR cameras where appropriate).
Acoustic leak detection techniques using acoustic sensors, microphones, (or an acoustic ground microphone), and ultra-sensitive microphones to listen for leak noise.
Leak noise correlator testing to narrow down likely leak zones.
Moisture mapping to understand where water is travelling through building materials.
For tracer gas testing and tracer gas detection where the leak is difficult to isolate.
Inspection cameras and other cameras, including a RIDGID inspection camera where access allows, to check within voids or pipe runs.

Persistent damp patches or staining on ceilings/walls

Musty smell or a damp feel in a room
Boiler pressure repeatedly dropping (sealed systems)
Reduced water pressure or intermittent air in pipework
Wet or soft flooring, warped skirting, bubbling paint
Homeowners in Armagh often contact us for issues such as:
Bathroom & shower leaks (including leaks tracking along grout lines)
Central heating leaks around radiators or heating systems;
Underfloor heating leaks;
Mains water leaks affecting water pipes and incoming supplies;
Underground Leak Detection where buried pipework is suspected;

If water is near electrics, or there's active water ingress, prioritise health and safety and contact a professional immediately.
Trace and Access is the industry term for finding a hidden leak and exposing it for repair. In short, it covers the detective work and the access required (like lifting floorboards or removing tiles), to get to the source of the problem.
Most UK home insurance policies distinguish between fixing the pipe (which is often a maintenance cost) and the damage caused to get to it. "Trace and Access" focuses on the latter.
Insurer-Ready Reports: Clear, fact-based documentation with photos of the leak and the access work.
Evidence of Damage: A detailed record of what we found, helping you substantiate your claim.
Itemised breakdowns where needed to help you evidence the work.
While we are not insurers or claims handlers, our documentation can help support your insurance claim process.
