Water Leak Detection in London
Hidden leaks found without tearing up your home
Our water leak detection service in London finds hidden leaks in walls, floors, ceilings and underground supply pipes. You might notice a damp patch, a stained ceiling or a water bill that is suddenly higher than usual. Our engineers use thermal imaging, acoustic equipment, tracer gas and moisture mapping to pinpoint the leak, so we only open up the spot that needs repairing. It is part of our wider leak detection service, and we also offer commercial leak detection for businesses and managed buildings.

Our water leak detection methods
- Thermal imaging and moisture mapping: A thermal camera shows temperature differences behind surfaces, which is ideal for tracing hot water and heating pipes. Moisture meters then map how far the damp has spread.
- Acoustic leak detection: With the Aquaphon A200 we listen along the pipe route for the particular sound of water escaping under pressure, even through floors and screed.
- Tracer gas: For the smallest or hardest-to-find leaks, we introduce a safe, non-toxic tracer gas into the pipework and use a sensitive detector to find where it comes out.
Signs you may have a hidden leak
Hidden leaks rarely announce themselves. Look out for damp patches or peeling paint, a musty smell, warm spots on the floor, the sound of running water when every tap is off, or a water meter that keeps turning. A boiler that keeps losing pressure can point to a leak on the heating system. The sooner a leak is found, the less damage it does. If you have noticed any of these signs, contact us to book a leak detection visit.
