Precision diagnostics for every structure.

We trace the exact origin of water ingress without relying on destructive investigation. Our focus is purely on accurate diagnosis.

Underfloor Leaks

Detecting leaks beneath solid concrete, timber, or tiled floors using acoustic profiling and thermal imaging, preserving your floor finishes.

Leaks Behind Walls

Pinpointing pipe failures concealed within stud walls, masonry, or behind bathroom tiling through non-destructive moisture mapping.

Ceiling Leak Sourcing

Tracing water tracking paths from flats above, roof voids, or hidden pipework down through ceiling cavities to identify the true source.

Heating System Loss

Identifying pressure loss in central heating and wet underfloor heating systems using tracer gas and pressure testing protocols.

A structured approach to finding the fault.

Our process is designed to bring clarity to complex water escape issues rapidly.

Common Questions

What is trace & access leak detection?
Trace and access is the professional process of locating a hidden water leak (the trace) and determining the least destructive way to expose it for repair (the access). It utilizes specialized equipment rather than destructive physical searching.
Can you find leaks without breaking walls or floors?
Yes. In the vast majority of cases, our thermal imaging, acoustic tools, and tracer gases allow us to pinpoint the leak source completely non-invasively. We map the problem out accurately before any physical access is required.
Do you provide insurance reports?
Absolutely. If your home insurance policy includes 'Trace and Access' cover, our comprehensive photographic reports are structured specifically to support your claim for the detection costs and subsequent damages.
What types of leaks do you detect?
We detect all concealed domestic water leaks. This includes mains water supply pipes, hot and cold internal feeds, central heating systems, underfloor heating matrices, and waste water drainage issues.
Do you cover flats and rental properties?
Yes, we frequently work in purpose-built blocks and converted flats. We are highly experienced in tracing water tracking between floors and units, often liaising with property managers and multiple leaseholders.
What happens after the leak is found?
Once located, we provide a clear briefing on where the leak is and the best way to access it. While we are a pure diagnostic service, we can temporarily isolate the supply if required and advise your plumber on exactly where to expose the pipe for final repair.
