Water leak detection identifies hidden leaks behind walls, beneath floors, underground and within heating or plumbing systems without unnecessary damage to the property. Depending on the suspected leak, plumbers may use moisture testing, thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, pressure testing or other diagnostic methods to narrow down its location.

Many hidden leaks can be narrowed down using non-invasive diagnostic methods before walls, floors or ceilings are opened. Thermal imaging, moisture testing, acoustic equipment and pressure testing can help identify the likely leak location, reducing unnecessary exploratory damage. Some leaks may still require targeted access for confirmation and repair.
The time required to identify the leak depends on the complexity of the leak, location, types of tools used, and property size. We house a proficient team that utilises modern equipment to address the leak immediately.
Turn off taps and water-using appliances and check whether the water meter continues to register usage. Unexpected movement may indicate water is still flowing somewhere in the system, although further investigation may be needed to identify why.
Yes. A hidden leak in central heating pipework, radiators, valves or connections can cause system pressure to fall repeatedly. However, pressure loss can also be caused by boiler components or other heating-system faults, so the system should be diagnosed before assuming there is a concealed pipe leak.
