Our Detection Methods:
We scan for heat signatures to find heating system leaks or hot water failures under timber or tiles.
Highly sensitive microphones allow us to hear the precise frequency of a leak under concrete floors.
We inject a safe gas into the system to sniff out difficult leaks in hard-to-reach areas.
We track how water migrates to pinpoint the exact source of your leak.
We provide a professional service designed to minimise stress.

Call 028 9507 1126. We’ll ask a few questions to triage the issue. We deploy a leak detection specialist to your property.
We investigate. We use specialist leak detection technology to test your water systems, plumbing, and central heating. We aim for minimal disruption.
If you plan to make an insurance claim, this is vital. Trace and access refers to the work required to locate and get to the leak. We provide a comprehensive report detailing the cause of the leak, location of the leak, and detection methods used. This is often required by your policy to validate coverage.
Once the leak was found, we move to repair. Unlike some leak detection companies that only diagnose, we employ qualified plumbers. We can often carry out leak repair on the same visit if the pipework is accessible. If we need to excavate a concrete floor or open a wall, we explain exactly what is needed first.
We also serve commercial properties across Northern Ireland. Whether it is a water main issue on a large site or a bathroom leak in an office block, we offer commercial leak detection that keeps your business running.
