Leak Detection Done Properly

Canterbury properties often need a careful approach, especially where older buildings, shared accommodation, student lets and finished interiors are involved.

We focus on tracing the likely source before repair work begins, helping reduce unnecessary disruption to walls, floors, ceilings and decorated areas.

  • Hidden water leak detection
  • Emergency leak tracing
  • Thermal imaging and moisture checks
  • Tracer gas, acoustic and pressure testing where suitable

Not Sure Where The Leak Starts?

In older Canterbury buildings, water can travel through voids, ceilings, timber floors or shared pipe routes before appearing in a visible area.

If the leak is visible and accessible, plumbing repair may be suitable. If the source is unclear, leak detection is usually the right first step.

  • Boiler pressure keeps dropping
  • Damp patches are spreading
  • Water is showing but no pipe is visible
  • You need findings before repair works

Leak Detection Methods In Canterbury

The detection method is chosen around the building type, access, pipework layout and symptoms showing at the property.

Thermal Imaging

Thermal checks can help identify temperature changes linked to hidden moisture, heating pipe leaks or damp areas.

Tracer Gas Testing

Tracer gas can help locate certain hidden leaks where water loss is not visually obvious.

Acoustic Detection

Acoustic equipment can help listen for leak noise through pipework, floors or ground where suitable.

Pressure Testing

Pressure testing can help confirm whether a system is losing pressure and narrow down the affected pipework.

Moisture Checks

Moisture mapping can help assess damp areas and identify how far water may have travelled.

Clear Reporting

Clear findings, photos where relevant, work carried out and recommended next steps can be provided where suitable.

Clear Work Reports For Proof & Peace Of Mind

Clear reports can help landlords, homeowners and managing agents record what was checked, what was found and what repair route is recommended.

Reports may help with insurance claim support, landlord records, tenant communication, proof of works and repair planning. Final acceptance is always down to your insurer, landlord, agent or claims handler.

Reports Can Help With:

  • Insurance claim support
  • Landlord and tenant records
  • Proof of works carried out
  • Photos and findings where relevant
  • Repair planning and next steps
