Ibby & Adil were fantastic from the moment they arrived to the time they left. They took the time to understand what had happened, and explained everything they were doing along the way. They found the leak, fixed it and tidied up really nicely. They are very nice, professional and communicative. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

I hope I won’t need them so I didn’t have another leak, but I wouldn’t hesitate. I do recommend them.

I’m glad that we found this company to do the trace and access for us. They are very patient to find the leak even it’s hard to find. They also try to minimise the damage of our home so we don’t have too much to fix afterwards. They provided the report on the next day. Super efficient and great value!

My Combi Boiler had been running for two days none stop , engineers came out and did an inspection and said sorry you have a hot water leak call a water leak detection company...I googled and came across Pro Leak Detection the Guys came out Immediately they where punctual , reliable , honest , neat and tidy. They got to work and traced two hot water leaks and did the necessary repairs the same day . They kept us informed every step of the way , and made sure that they minimised damage to floor tiles and wall tiles as much as they could , therefore by Tracing the exact areas of the water leak. Will definitely use them again. Highly recommend them as they also have the state of the art equipment .

We had a hidden leak, which was very difficult to find. The engineers managed to eventually locate it in the laundy. They've clearly explained what they were doing and kept the damage to minimum with only one tile removed.
Both were very approachable, polite and professional.
Would highly recommend!

After multiple plumbing companies not being able to find the source of a leak, we found Pro Leak Detection. Pro Leak Detection were excellent from the start; kindly taking my calls outside of the normal working day, and persevering to identify and fix the source. Fantastic to work with, great communication, and incredibly fair on pricing for what was a time consuming job. Very grateful for Pro Leak Detection’s help. Would highly recommend.
Methods used at Pro Leak Detection
At Pro Leak Detection we use the latest and advanced technology to conduct leak detection. Using our cutting edge technology we minimise any unnecessary damage to your property. Once the leak has been located we provide you with an indepth photographic report highlighting the root cause of the leak and the damage caused. This report can be submitted to your insurance provider if required.
Gas Tracing Detection
Our gas tracing method involves the use of a specialized tracer gas, an inert blend of 5% hydrogen and 95% nitrogen, which replaces water in the leaking pipework. When pressurized, this gas escapes from the leak and ascends through the floor, ground, or walls. The gas can permeate various materials, including concrete floors, timber, and different floor finishes such as tiles, laminate, and carpet. A highly sensitive probe precisely identifies the leak by detecting even minute traces of the gas, down to just a few parts per million. Gas tracing is applicable to all types of pipe leaks, including central heating, underfloor heating, mains, hot, and cold, providing a highly accurate means of locating leaks. Pro Leak Detection use the latest leak detection techniques ensuring that we can locate and resolve hidden leaks with minimal disruption to you and your home.
Acoustic Detection
The Acoustic Microphone is an exceptionally sensitive device designed to detect the sound of a leak escaping from a pipe. This device can effectively magnify the noise, especially when the system is drained down, and water is replaced with air, creating a distinctive and recognizable sound. Initially, it confirms the presence of a leak and provides an approximate location. Further refinement, such as calibrating the sound from two different positions, allows for precise pinpointing of the leak’s exact location. The Acoustic Microphone is versatile and applicable to various types of pipe leaks, including central heating, underfloor heating, mains, hot, and cold.
We take pride in employing the latest leak detection techniques, ensuring we locate and resolve issues with the least amount of disruption to your property.
Thermal Imaging
The Thermal Imaging Camera, also known as a Thermographic or Infrared Camera, enables us to identify and map buried and concealed hot, central heating, and underfloor heating pipes. By detecting infrared energy and converting it into an electronic signal, the camera produces a thermal image and performs temperature calculations. Abnormalities and suspect areas, such as heat patches are an indication of a leak. The thermal imaging results complement our other testing methods and equipment, contributing to the accurate location of the leak. Employing our latest leak detection techniques ensures that we can locate and resolve problems with minimal disruption to you and your property.
Moisture Detection
While signs of dampness and leaks are sometimes apparent through visible water damage, such as blistering or flaking paint, salt deposits, and bubbling or bowed floor finishes, dampness can often remain hidden. Our moisture meter serves as a crucial component of our leak detection equipment, enabling us to map all concealed damp and moisture. By creating a moisture map that distinguishes between damp and dry areas, we gain insights into potential causes of dampness and likely leak locations. Pro Leak Detection use the latest leak detection techniques ensuring that we can locate and resolve hidden leaks with minimal disruption to you and your home.
Endoscopic Camera
Our endoscopic camera, equipped with a small, flexible, and extendable design along with its own light source, enables visual inspections (including night vision) in hard-to-reach areas. This technology allows us to pinpoint and diagnose issues with minimal disruption. The camera is versatile, suitable for inspecting various void spaces, including stud and cavity walls, beneath suspended floors, and through ceiling light fittings. Our commitment to employing the latest leak detection techniques ensures that we can locate and resolve problems with minimal disruption to you and your property.
Dye Testing
Dye testing is a simple process that involves adding environmentally friendly and biodegradable coloured dye to water to detect leaks, such as sinks, toilets and outside drains to track the flow of water to the affected area
