01
Initial Assessment
We review the symptoms, property type, affected systems, access constraints and whether insurance evidence is required.
Leak Detection Process
How Leak Detection Works
Professional leak detection is a structured investigation, not guesswork.
We assess the symptoms, select suitable technology, investigate the affected systems and provide clear findings for repair planning or insurance evidence.
Process
The Leak Detection Process
02
Technology Selection
The engineer selects appropriate methods such as thermal imaging, tracer gas, acoustic detection or moisture mapping.
03
Investigation
Testing is carried out methodically to build evidence and narrow the most likely leak source.
04
Leak Location
Findings are correlated to identify the likely leak position and any access requirements.
05
Reporting & Recommendations
You receive practical next steps, with written findings and photographs available where required.
Technology
Technology Used During Investigation
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras identify temperature differences linked to pipework, heating faults and moisture.

FAQs
How Leak Detection Works FAQs
Can leak detection be non-destructive?
Yes. Non-destructive methods are used first to reduce unnecessary opening-up, excavation or damage.
Which technology is best for leak detection?
There is no single best method for every leak. The right technology depends on the system, symptoms, access and building construction.
Do you always find the leak in one visit?
Many investigations are completed in one visit, but complex properties or inaccessible systems may require staged investigation or further access.
Do you provide a report?
Written findings and photographic evidence can be provided for repair planning, trace and access or insurance requirements.
Do you repair the leak?
The core service is specialist leak location and reporting. Findings help repair contractors target the correct area.
