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.

Leak Detection Methods & Technology

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

Thermal imaging and infrared checks using thermal imaging cameras (including FLIR cameras where appropriate).

Acoustic Leak Checks

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

Leak noise correlator testing to narrow down likely leak zones.

Moisture Mapping

Moisture mapping to understand where water is travelling through building materials.

Tracer Gas Technology

For tracer gas testing and tracer gas detection where the leak is difficult to isolate.

Inspection Cameras

Inspection cameras and other cameras, including a RIDGID inspection camera where access allows, to check within voids or pipe runs.

When to Get Help

Consider getting help if you’ve noticed any of the following in your Armagh property:

  • Persistent damp patches or staining on ceilings/walls

  • Mould that keeps returning in the same area despite cleaning and ventilation

  • 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

Types of Leaks and Affected Areas

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;

  • Sudden failures that may need burst pipe repair and urgent isolation support.

If water is near electrics, or there's active water ingress, prioritise health and safety and contact a professional immediately.

Trace and Access

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.

Documentation Provided

Evidence of Damage: A detailed record of what we found, helping you substantiate your claim.

Transparent Costings
