Signs You May Have a Plumbing Leak

Not all leaks are obvious. Many Belfast homeowners only discover them when other problems appear. Common signs include:
  • Boiler or central heating losing pressure;
  • Unexplained damp patches on walls, ceilings, or floors;
  • Water meter running when no taps are on;
  • Higher water bills than normal;
  • Sounds of water running with no visible leak.
If any of these sound familiar, chances are you’ve got a hidden plumbing leak.

Why Choose a Plumbing Specialist for Leak Detection

Many companies detect leaks. Few are qualified plumbers. That difference matters.

At NI Leak Detection, our team are plumbers first and leak specialists second. That means:

  • We trace leaks in pipework, radiators, and heating systems;
  • We repair the fault on the spot — no second contractor needed;
  • We prepare Trace & Access reports that insurers accept first time.

It’s a complete service: detect, repair, and help recover your costs.

Our Plumbing Leak Detection Process in Belfast

We keep the process simple and straightforward:

1. Tell us your symptoms – boiler pressure drop, damp patch, unexplained water use.

2. Non-invasive testing – thermal imaging, acoustic microphones, tracer gas.

3. Pinpoint diagnosis – confirm the leak location with minimal disruption.

4. Same-day repair – pipe joints, heating systems, or fixtures repaired immediately.

5. Reporting – photo-backed Trace & Access documentation for insurers.

  • Central heating leaks beneath concrete floors;
  • Burst joints in copper or plastic pipework;

Examples of Plumbing Leaks in Belfast

In West Belfast, a family noticed their boiler losing pressure every day. Our engineers used acoustic detection to trace the leak to a heating pipe under the kitchen floor. Only one tile was lifted, the pipe was repaired the same day, and the £1,700 cost was reimbursed by their insurer.
“Our boiler kept losing pressure. NI Leak Detection traced the leak to a pipe under the floor and repaired it the same day.” – Gary, Andersonstown
