NI Leak Detection provides residential water leak detection services for homes in Northern Ireland. We assess reported issues, locate the source of water leaks, and explain findings. We help stop water loss and support decisions on repair and next steps.
You might not see a drip, but your house is telling you something is wrong. We identify the source of:
Wet patches on walls, bubbling paint, or lifting floors.
Constantly topping up a sealed central heating system.
Hissing or trickling noises in walls or under floorboards.
Persistent growth in the same spot despite cleaning.
Specialist detection services for every situation
A general plumber may need to lift floorboards or drill holes just to find the water pipe. We do not work this way. We use acoustic and thermal technology to "see" through your floors and walls. We identify leaks without breaking ground. We only mark the specific point that needs repair, which saves your expensive tiling, laminate, or timber flooring from being ruined during the search.
Most Northern Ireland insurers require specific evidence to pay a "Trace and Access" claim. A standard plumber's invoice is rarely enough. We provide a validated technical report with leak coordinates and photographic proof. This document gives you the best chance of reclaiming the cost of the survey and the access work from your insurance company.
Once we pinpoint the leak, we offer a complete "Find and Fix" service. We can handle everything, from the excavation to the plumbing repair and reinstatement. However, we do not force this on you.
If the repair is complex or structural, you might prefer a temporary fix, or you may wish to use your own builder for the excavation. We give you the data and the quote; you choose the route that fits your budget and timeline.
A simple, effective approach to finding and fixing your water leaks.
Call us to discuss the signs of your leak. We ask about boiler pressure, damp patches, or any other visible signs. Based on this, we provide a fixed price for the survey. You know the exact cost before we book the appointment.
Our leak detection engineer arrives at your property. We test your system using thermal imaging, acoustic listening, and hydrogen tracer gas. We work through your floors and walls without causing damage.
We locate the pipe leak to within a few centimetres. We mark the exact spot on your floor or wall. This precision ensures that any future excavation is minimal and focused solely on the problem area.
If the leak is accessible, we can often fix it immediately. If it requires excavation (e.g., under concrete), we will explain the work involved. You can instruct us to complete the full repair, or take our technical report to your own contractor.
You receive a comprehensive "Trace and Access" report. This document includes technical data and photographic evidence. You submit this to your insurance provider to validate your claim.
