NI Leak Detection provides water leak detection services for residential and commercial properties in Northern Ireland. We investigate reported issues, locate the source of water leaks, and explain what we find. We help stop ongoing loss, reduce uncertainty, and support decisions on repair and next steps.
Many homeowners call a standard plumber when they suspect a water leak. A plumber is excellent at fixing the leak once it is found. However, most plumbers do not have the specialist equipment required to detect a leak hidden deep under concrete or behind finished tiling.
Without the right leak detection technology, a plumber might suggest a "search and destroy" approach. This involves lifting floorboards and hacking into walls to find the pipe responsible. This causes unnecessary damage to your property.
Our leak detection specialist uses advanced leak detection methods to pinpoint leaks to a specific area. This ensures that the location of the leak is known before any physical work begins.
The cost of professional water leak detection is often the main concern for homeowners. However, most home insurance policy documents in Northern Ireland include Trace and Access cover.
Trace and Access is a specific type of cover that pays for the cost of finding the source of a leak and gaining access to it. Because we provide a comprehensive leak report with photographic evidence, our documentation helps you with your insurance claim.
We provide the professional evidence your insurer needs to confirm the exact location of the leak and the leak detection process used to find it.

| Technology | How it Works |
|---|---|
| Acoustic Ground Microphones | We listen for the specific frequency of water escaping a pipe under pressure. |
| Thermal Imaging | We use infrared cameras to see temperature differences caused by hidden water in your floors or walls. |
| Tracer-Gas Leak Testing | We introduce a safe gas mixture into the pipework. Our "sniffers" then detect where the gas escapes. |
| Moisture Mapping | We use high-end moisture meters to track the spread of water and find the source of the leak. |
| Pipe Locator | This allows us to map the exact route of your piping and water mains before we start. |

We speak with you to understand the symptoms. Is it a central heating issue? Is it the mains water?
Our leak detection specialist arrives with a full suite of technology.
We use non-destructive leak detection to trace the leak. We do not stop until we have pinpointed the leak location.
We explain the source of your leak. If you are making an insurance claim, we document the leak was detected with photos.
Once the exact location of the leak is known, we can often provide a repair service. We found and fixed the leak for hundreds of homes last year alone.
Whether it is an underfloor leak in your kitchen or a complex issue in commercial properties, we have the experience to help. We understand the specific plumbing styles used in Northern Ireland homes.
Do not let a small water pipe issue become a structural disaster. A hidden leak will not fix itself. It will only continue to damage your home and your health through mould growth.
