Professional Leak Detection Services in London
As experienced plumbers serving London for over 15 years, we have seen all types of leaks in both residential and commercial properties across the city. Our leak detection services can accurately locate water leaks, heating system leaks, plumbing leaks, damp leaks, sewer leaks, and pinpoint the origin of the leak.
Common Leaks We Detect
Water Leaks
Our specialists can find both internal and external water leaks on your property before major water damage occurs. We use advanced equipment like thermal imaging cameras, moisture meters, pipe inspection systems, and more to find the exact location of hidden water leaks that you may not even be aware exist.
No leak is too small or hidden for our techs to detect with our professional gear. We inspect every inch of your property thoroughly.
Heating System Leaks
Even tiny heating system leaks can turn into huge headaches if left unaddressed. Our techs are experts at detecting tricky heating oil leaks, natural gas leaks from pipes, radiator leaks, boiler leaks, and pinpointing the origin. Thermal cameras make it easy for us to see the exact location of heating leaks that may be hidden behind walls or under floors. Catching leaks early prevents structural damage long-term and keeps your system running efficiently.
Damp Leaks
If you suspect dampness issues in your home or business, our damp specialists have all the cutting-edge tools to diagnose the root cause
In addition to damp testing, we also provide professional mold inspection and testing services if you suspect mold presence. Catching and fixing damp and mold issues early saves thousands in repairs later on to protect your property’s structural health.
Our Leak Detection Process
Finding and repairing leaks early provides huge cost and headache savings compared to catching them when major visible damage occurs. Our systematic leak detection process ensures we find any leaks on your property as early as possible.
Initial Consultation
First, our leak detection technicians come onsite to your property for an initial consultation. We discuss with you the areas of concern, do a visual inspection of obvious problem signs, and devise a full inspection plan. We also take a thermal scan of the property exterior surfaces to start spotting potential leaks immediately.
In-Depth Inspection
Next comes a thorough interior and exterior inspection. We utilize various state-of-the-art tools:
Thermal Imaging – Our thermal camera scans easily detect plumbing leaks, dampness issues, hidden water damage, and heating system issues by identifying hot and cold spots not visible to the human eye. Thermal imaging finds the origin of leaks behind walls, under floors, and in other hard to access areas.
Moisture Detection – We use professional moisture meters to check walls, ceilings, floors, and get accurate moisture level readings even in finished surfaces. High moisture readings pinpoint water leak locations quickly.
Video Pipe Inspections – We can insert a tiny waterproof camera on a flexible cable inside pipes (without damage or digging) to check condition, signs of cracks, blockages, root infiltration. Helps find breaches causing water or sewer leaks accurately.
Diagnosis & Repair Recommendations
With the leak origin identified, we diagnose why the leak likely occurred in the first place and assess risks if not addressed quickly. Finally, we provide you expert repair recommendations tailored to your unique situation – whether it’s an isolated small fix or a major re-piping job needed. We only recommend repairs that make sense for the long-term health of your property to avoid recurring issues.
Leak Detection Equipment We Use
Our leak detection technicians utilize the latest professional-grade equipment to find any water, sewer, plumbing, heating, or damp leaks – no matter how small or hidden behind walls/under floors.
Thermal Imaging Cameras
Our high-resolution infrared cameras detect temperature differences down to tiny fractions of a degree. They produce images showing heat patterns not visible to the naked eye. Perfect for identifying plumbing leaks behind walls based on minute temperature changes from dripping water.
Moisture Meters
We use both pin probe and non-invasive moisture meters to accurately check moisture levels in materials like drywall, brick, concrete, wood, ceramic tiles. Very helpful identifying areas that feel dry on surface but have concerning moisture levels inside indicating unseen water leaks or rising damp issues.
Video Pipe Systems
We have tiny waterproof cameras on flexible cables allowing us to insert inside pipes, drains, sewers to visually inspect condition inside. Checks for cracks, blockages, root infiltrations, signs of water leaks. Prevents need for major pipe digging/damage for inspections.
Acoustic Detection
Transmits acoustic signals through pipe walls and uses highly precise correlation technology to detect exact leaks locations by analyzing reflected signal differences caused by leaks. Very helpful finding pinpoint area that needs repair work rather than major pipe replacement.
Ground Microphones
Highly sensitive acoustic detection devices are placed at ground level or against pipes to detect vibration and sound abnormalities indicating underground water leaks in buried pipes or liquid escaping small cracks/breaches.
