Water Leak DetectionFind It Without Breaking Walls.
Rising water bill, a damp patch or a musty smell with no obvious cause? We trace hidden leaks using acoustic detection, thermal imaging and pressure testing, so we know exactly where to look before any wall or floor is opened.
What We Do
Modern detection equipment finds the leak before we open anything up.
Acoustic Leak Detection
Listening equipment picks up the sound of water escaping through walls, floors and underground pipework, narrowing down the leak's exact location.
Thermal Imaging Survey
Thermal cameras reveal the temperature differences caused by a hidden leak behind plaster, under tiles or beneath flooring.
Pressure Testing
Isolating sections of your pipework to identify which part of the system is losing pressure, confirming whether a leak exists before any tracing begins.
Leak Access & Tracing
Leaks under concrete slabs, below floorboards or behind tiled walls, located and marked before any opening-up work starts.
Water Meter & Usage Checks
Checking your water meter against typical usage patterns to confirm and quantify a suspected leak.

Signs You Might Have a Hidden Leak
Not every leak is obvious. These are the warning signs worth acting on.
Rising Water Bill
A noticeable increase in your water bill with no change in household usage is often the first sign of a hidden leak.
Damp Patches or Staining
Discoloured patches on walls, ceilings or skirting boards, especially ones that keep coming back after cleaning.
Musty or Damp Smell
A persistent damp smell in a room with no visible cause can point to water sitting somewhere it shouldn't be.
Sound of Running Water
Hearing water moving through pipes when every tap and appliance in the house is switched off.
Low Water Pressure
A sudden or gradual drop in pressure can mean water is escaping somewhere before it reaches your taps.
Cracking or Lifting Flooring
Flooring that lifts, cracks or feels soft underfoot, particularly near a bathroom or kitchen, can indicate a leak underneath.
Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens During a Leak Detection Visit
We start by talking through what you've noticed, whether that's a rising bill, a damp patch or an unexplained sound, since this helps us narrow down where to begin looking.
From there we use pressure testing to confirm whether the system is losing water, then bring in acoustic equipment and thermal imaging to trace the leak to its source without opening up walls or floors unnecessarily.
Once we've located the leak, we mark the spot and talk you through what we've found, including a fixed price for the repair if you'd like us to carry it out.
Every survey comes with a written report you can keep for your records or pass on to your insurer if the leak has caused any damage.
