Published Sussex Evidence
A Bathroom Investigation In Brighton
This East Sussex investigation shows why the room first suspected should not be treated as the confirmed source. Testing ruled out that bathroom and identified the daily-used ensuite shower room as the supported source area.
Brighton, East Sussex · Bathroom Leak Detection
Bathroom Leak Detection in Brighton Identifies Ensuite Shower Room Source
Water reaching the flat below was traced to an ensuite shower room after the bathroom initially suspected by the client was ruled out.
Scope Of The Finding
The ensuite shower room was identified as the relevant source area, but the exact failed component was not recorded. A report was supplied for the insurer; no repair or insurer decision was documented.

02
Describe The Symptoms
Explain what you have noticed, the affected system and any checks or previous work already completed.

The team reviews whether the enquiry fits the service scope and which investigation route may be appropriate.
04
Arrange The Appointment
If the location, requirements and schedule align, an appointment can be agreed with the relevant preparation details.
Investigation Methods
Leak Detection Technology Used In Sussex
No single method answers every investigation question. Engineers select and combine suitable methods according to the symptoms, pipe system, property construction and evidence gathered on site.
Equipment output requires professional interpretation and does not independently guarantee a leak location.
View All Methods And Limitations
Thermal Imaging
Infrared camera surveys help identify temperature patterns linked to hidden moisture and heating faults.
Explore method
Tracer Gas
Tracer gas testing helps locate concealed pipe leaks beneath floors, behind walls and underground routes.
Explore method
Acoustic Detection
Acoustic equipment can help trace pressurised water leaks using sound from escaping water.
Explore method
Moisture Mapping
Moisture readings help track water movement and support evidence-led investigation findings.
Explore methodSymptom Guidance
Common Leak Problems In Sussex Properties
These symptoms can have several causes. Use the relevant guide to understand the checks and investigation route rather than treating the symptom as proof of a leak.
01
Boiler Losing Pressure
Repeated pressure loss can indicate a concealed central heating or underfloor heating leak.
Read guidance 02Water Bill Suddenly Increased
A sudden increase in usage can point to a hidden mains or supply pipe leak.
Read guidance 03Damp Patch On Wall
New or spreading damp patches should be investigated before unnecessary access work begins.
Read guidance 04Water Stain On Ceiling
Ceiling stains can be linked to bathroom leaks, pipework faults or escape of water above.
Read guidanceWhy Pro Leak Detection
Specialist Investigation Across Sussex
The investigation route should reflect the property, affected system and evidence—not a fixed equipment checklist.
Evidence-Led Investigation
Reported symptoms, accessible checks and property evidence guide the investigation rather than assumptions about the source.
Appropriate Methods And Reporting
Methods are selected for the system and conditions, with findings and limitations documented where reporting is required.
Test The Assumption
An investigation can rule out the area first suspected and identify a different supported source area without inventing an exact failed component.
Sussex FAQs
Leak Detection Sussex FAQs
Which parts of Sussex do you cover?
The directory on this page links to every published Sussex locality page across East and West Sussex. If a location is not shown, provide the postcode so the team can confirm coverage, investigation suitability and scheduling.
How do I confirm appointment availability in Sussex?
Send the property postcode and a short description of the symptoms. Availability depends on the location, investigation requirements and current scheduling.
Which leak detection services are available in Sussex?
Enquiries can include concealed plumbing leaks, mains supply pipes, central heating, underfloor heating, bathrooms, waste systems, damp, commercial properties and insurance-related investigation. The appropriate route depends on the property and evidence.
Which investigation methods may be used?
Methods may include thermal imaging, tracer gas, acoustic detection and moisture mapping where suitable. No single method is appropriate for every property or suspected leak.
Can water through a ceiling confirm which bathroom is leaking?
Not by itself. Water can travel before it becomes visible, so the apparent position may not identify the responsible room or component. The Brighton investigation, for example, ruled out the bathroom first suspected and identified an ensuite shower room as the supported source area.
