Is this a hidden water leak?

Emergency leak detection isn't just for bursting pipes you can see. Most damage comes from hidden water leaks that build up over time.

You likely need our expert leak detection if you notice:

Boiler pressure dropping constantly on your central heating system.
Mould or damp patches appearing on walls or ceilings.
The sound of running water when no taps are on (a sign of a supply pipe issue).
A warm spot on the floor (often a leak in my central heating pipes).

Ignoring these signs leads to significant water damage and damage to your property. Acting sooner saves money.

How we find your water leak

We stop the guesswork. Our leak detection engineer arrives with specialist equipment designed to see and hear what you can't. We focus on non-destructive leak detection to keep your home intact.

Our Detection Methods:

Thermal Imaging:

We scan for heat signatures to find heating system leaks or hot water failures under timber or tiles.

Acoustic Leak Detection:

Highly sensitive microphones allow us to hear the precise frequency of a leak under concrete floors.

Tracer Gas (Tracer-gas leak testing):

We inject a safe gas into the system to sniff out difficult leaks in hard-to-reach areas.

Moisture Mapping:

We track how water migrates to pinpoint the exact source of your leak.

The Emergency Leak Detection Process

We provide a professional service designed to minimise stress.

Emergency Leak Detection process
1

Book your leak detection

Call 028 9507 1126. We’ll ask a few questions to triage the issue. We deploy a leak detection specialist to your property.

2

Locate the issue

We investigate. We use specialist leak detection technology to test your water systems, plumbing, and central heating. We aim for minimal disruption.

3

Trace and Access Report

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.

4

Fix your water leak

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.

Commercial Leak Detection

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.

Quick mobilisation for metered sites.
Accurate mapping of water supply pipe routes.
Detailed reporting for facilities management.
