Leak Detection Done Properly

Dover properties often face a mix of older pipework, coastal weather, rented accommodation and finished interiors where unnecessary damage needs to be avoided.

Our leak detection approach helps narrow down the likely source first, so any repair work can be planned properly rather than guessed.

  • 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 coastal areas, damp and staining can be confusing because the cause may be plumbing, rainwater goods, drainage, condensation or a hidden pipe leak.

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 Dover

We choose the leak detection method based on the evidence on site, the type of pipework and where water is showing.

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

Where suitable, clear work reports can show what was investigated, what methods were used, what was found and what the recommended next steps are.

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
