If you’re seeing damp patches, staining, recurring mould or a loss of pressure, it’s hard to know what’s causing it or what to do next in your home. We help you get clarity by locating the source of the leak, explaining what we’ve found, and carrying out a repair where appropriate and agreed.

A few practical notes:
We use a practical mix of methods and technology to locate leaks accurately, choosing what fits the symptoms and access available. This can include:
Using acoustic sensors, an acoustic ground microphone, and ultra-sensitive microphones to help pinpoint leak noise.
Thermal imaging and infrared checks using thermal imaging cameras (including FLIR where appropriate).
Tracer gas (hydrogen/nitrogen) and Tracer Gas Technology for hard-to-find leaks.
Moisture mapping using moisture meters to track how water is moving through materials.
Pressure tests where appropriate (for example with a hydraulic pressure testing pump), alongside other testing.
Pipe locating for buried water pipes and Underground Leak Detection on suspected mains runs.
(including RIDGID inspection camera / endoscope) and other cameras for visual checks in voids and service routes.
Leak detector tools selected to match the job, with a focus on clear findings over guesswork.
Leak problems are often not obvious at first. It’s worth getting help if you’re seeing any of the following:
Or staining on ceilings or walls that keeps recurring despite treatment.
Mould that keeps returning in the same area despite cleaning and ventilation.
A musty smell or a damp feel in a room that persists.
Boiler pressure repeatedly dropping (sealed systems).
Or intermittent air in the lines that can't be explained.
Warped skirting, or bubbling paint that indicates water damage.
If water is near electrics, prioritise health and safety and contact a professional immediately.
Homeowners often call us out for issues such as:
Often around grout lines, trays, and concealed pipework.
Including radiators and pipework on central heating and other heating systems
Hidden leaks in underfloor heating systems requiring specialised detection.
Affecting water pipes and incoming supplies, often causing pressure issues.
Where buried pipework is suspected of leaking, requiring specialised equipment.
That may need burst pipe repair and urgent isolation support to prevent damage.
Trace and Access refers to locating the leak and accessing the area to complete the repair, with documentation of what was found and what work was done.
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.
If you're making an insurance claim, your insurer will likely need proof of where the leak was and what work was required to reach it.
Clear, fact-based documentation with photos of the leak and the access work.
A detailed record of what we found, helping you substantiate your claim.
Itemised breakdowns where needed to help you evidence the work.
While we cannot confirm your specific policy coverage, we give you the clear facts and professional evidence you need to support your claim.
If you’re seeing signs of a hidden leak and want a clear, practical next step, call and tell us what you’ve noticed. If you can, share where the issue is showing up and when it started.
We start by understanding the symptoms and where the issue is showing up, then carry out structured checks to narrow down the most likely source. The aim is to locate the cause so any repair work is targeted and sensible.
Where appropriate and agreed, yes. Once we’ve identified the source, we’ll explain the repair options and can carry out plumbing repairs to resolve the leak.
Not always. Some leaks can be confirmed and repaired with minimal opening-up, but some access may be needed depending on where the leak is and the materials involved. We aim to keep disruption to a minimum where possible, and we use Non-Destructive Leak Detection methods where possible (while being clear that some access can still be required depending on the leak and the building).
Condensation is often linked to ventilation and surface moisture, while leaks tend to cause persistent staining, ongoing damp in the same place, pressure loss, or a problem that keeps returning. We can help you work out what’s most likely based on the symptoms and on-site checks.
Yes, Trace and Access reporting is available where needed. This documents what was found, what was done to access the leak area, and what repair work was carried out, with photos where appropriate.
Cover depends on your policy wording and the insurer’s assessment. We cannot confirm cover or acceptance, but we can provide documentation that insurers may request to support a claim, including a Trace and Access report and insurer-ready reports if needed.
Yes, we can help with burst pipe repair where appropriate and agreed. If it’s safe to do so, isolate the water supply and keep water away from electrics, then call so we can advise the next step based on what’s happening.
We serve Dungannon and the surrounding area, including Ballygawley, Cookstown, Donaghmore, Eglish, Moygashel. If you’re nearby, call and we’ll confirm availability and the most practical next step based on your symptoms.
If it’s safe and you know where it is, turn off the water supply and avoid using affected areas. If water is near electrics or you have active water ingress, prioritise safety and contact a professional. If a pipe has burst, we can advise on the safest next step and, where appropriate and agreed, carry out burst pipe repair.
