Our Specialist Equipment
- Acoustic Leak Detection : Highly sensitive equipment listens for the sound of escaping water through walls, floors and underground pipework. This allows accurate leak location with minimal disruption.
- Thermal Imaging Cameras : Infrared technology detects temperature differences caused by hidden water ingress. Ideal for identifying leaks behind walls, under floors and within heating systems.
- Tracer Gas Detection : A safe, non-toxic tracer gas is introduced into the system and escapes at the exact leak point. Specialised sensors detect the gas, pinpointing even the smallest or hard-to-find leaks.
- Endoscopic / Inspection Cameras : Compact high-resolution cameras are used to inspect cavities and pipework internally. This provides visual confirmation without destructive access.
- Non-Invasive Leak Detection Methods : Wherever possible, we use non-invasive techniques to accurately locate leaks. This minimises disruption and prevents unnecessary property damage.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you find a hidden leak without digging up my floor?
We use non-invasive methods first – acoustic equipment to listen for escaping water, thermal imaging cameras to spot temperature changes, and tracer gas when needed. These pinpoint the leak’s location accurately, so we rarely need to break into walls or floors.
Will you need to break into my walls or floors
Almost never as a first step. Our specialist equipment locates most leaks without digging or demolition. If access is genuinely needed to confirm or fix the leak, we explain exactly where and why before any work starts.
How long does a leak detection survey take?
A standard domestic leak detection survey usually takes 1–3 hours on site. Larger homes with more extensive pipework, or leaks with complex symptoms, can take 3–5 hours to fully diagnose and confirm.
How much does a leak detection survey cost?
There is no call-out fee. The cost of a leak detection survey depends on the complexity of the issue and the time required to accurately locate the source of the leak. Once the leak has been identified, we provide a clear repair quote before any work begins, with no unexpected costs.
What detection methods do you actually use?
Acoustic listening devices for sound through walls and floors, thermal imaging for hidden temperature changes, tracer gas for hard-to-find leaks, and endoscopic cameras to inspect cavities visually without destructive access.
