Clear Next Steps

Next steps guidance, including whether any follow-on trades may be needed for reinstatement depending on the situation.

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

Depending on the symptoms and access, we may use a leak detector and a small set of tools and technology to help locate an acoustic leak and confirm the source. These may include:

Acoustic Leak Checks

Acoustic leak tracing using acoustic sensors, an acoustic ground microphone, and ultra-sensitive microphones to help pinpoint leak noise

Thermal Imaging

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

Tracer Gas Technology

Tracer gas using Tracer Gas Technology (hydrogen/nitrogen) to help confirm the leak point in certain situations.

Moisture Mapping

Moisture mapping using a moisture meter to understand how moisture is travelling through materials (without over-stating precision).

Inspection Cameras

Inspection cameras and other cameras to check voids and hard-to-see areas; we may use RIDGID inspection cameras.

Pressure Testing

Pressure tests where appropriate, to help confirm a suspected leak on a section of pipework.

When to Get Help

Leak issues are not always obvious at first. It is worth getting help if you’re seeing any of the following:

  • 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

Common domestic leak sources we investigate include:

  • 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 you’re on a meter: unexpected usage increases, or meter movement when everything is off, can also point to an ongoing leak.

Health and safety note: If water is near electrics, or there’s active water ingress, prioritise health and safety and contact a professional.
