Professional Trace and Access services covering Northern Ireland.
Stop the water damage. Secure the evidence. Get your claim paid.
If you have a hidden leak in your home, your home insurance policy likely provides trace and access cover to find it. But insurers will only pay for the cost if you provide a professional, evidence-led report.
We are a leak detection specialist serving Northern Ireland. We provide the specialist equipment, technical expertise, and documentation you need to make a claim with confidence.
Most buildings insurance providers include trace and access as standard. This means your insurance covers the cost of locating a leak and accessing the leak (such as removing a floorboard, drilling tiles, or cutting plasterboard).
However, a standard plumber often lacks the leak detection technology or the reporting experience required by an insurer. If the report is vague, the claim fails.
We focus on the cost of finding the source and providing the "Proof of Loss" your insurance provider demands.
We use specialist trace and access technology to locate the source of the water leak without causing unnecessary destruction to your property.
We map heat signatures to see water from a burst pipe behind walls or under floors.
We use safe tracer gas to detect leaks in sealed heating systems and water mains.
High-sensitivity microphones locate leaks by listening for the sound of pressurized leaking water.
See how we help local homeowners turn a stressful leak into a successful claim
A homeowner noticed a damp patch in the hallway. Two plumbers had already cut holes in the ceiling but found nothing.
We used thermal imaging to find a micro-leak behind a shower valve.
Our trace and access service report proved the leak was "hidden" and "unexpected." The home insurer paid the full detection fee plus the bathroom ceiling restoration.
An older farmhouse with a concrete cavity floor was losing boiler pressure every 4 hours. The owner feared the entire floor would need to be excavated.
Using tracer gas, we identified the precise source of the leak under a single tile in the kitchen.
Instead of mass excavation, we performed surgical access. The buildings policy covered the specialist detection and the floor repair, saving the client over £4,000.
High water bills and a soggy front garden in a property with long water mains.
We used acoustic leak detection methods to locate leaks 2 metres underground without digging trial holes.
We provided a report that allowed the homeowner to claim back the cost of finding the source, effectively making our visit free of charge.
We do not just hand you an invoice. You receive a comprehensive Insurance Validation Report.
Your report includes:
A breakdown of the specialist equipment used.
Photos of the damage caused and the work required for accessing the leak.
The exact location of the source of a leak to minimise the cost of removing building materials.
Verification that the issue was an escape of water, the key trigger for a buildings policy claim.
In the majority of Northern Ireland home insurance claims, trace and access cover is a separate limit (often up to £5,000). By hiring a specialist trace and access company, you are investing in a service that is typically covered by your home insurance. You submit our invoice to your insurer to reclaim the costs.
Insurers are businesses. They will look for reasons to deny coverage. We help you navigate the three most common pitfalls:
If the insurer thinks you ignored the leak for months, they may refuse to pay. Our reports focus on the "event" that caused the discovery.
Insurance covers water escaping from a pipe, not water coming in from a roof. We pinpoint the pipe to prove it is an escape of water.
Leaking grout is a maintenance issue, not an insurance event. We verify if the water is coming from a pressurised pipe to validate the claim.
