A hidden water leak can cause serious damage to your home and lead to high water bills. Our expert leak detection service pinpoints the exact location of leaks, saving you from costly repairs and unnecessary excavation.

Advanced Leak Detection Methods

Our Hemel Hempstead leak detection specialists use the latest technology to locate leaks:

Thermal imaging cameras detect temperature changes in floors and walls that indicate leaking pipes. Acoustic listening devices pick up the sound of escaping water, even through thick floors and walls. Tracer gas technology safely finds leaks through most building materials with pinpoint accuracy. Moisture meters trace dampness to its source, helping identify problem areas.

These non-destructive methods allow us to locate leaks without removing flooring or breaking through walls, saving you time, money and mess.

We Locate All Types of Water Leaks in Hemel Hempstead

Our comprehensive leak detection service covers:

Central Heating Leaks

If your boiler keeps losing pressure or your radiators need frequent bleeding, you may have a hidden leak in your central heating system. Our engineers can trace and locate these leaks without damaging your floors or walls.

Water Main Leaks

Unexplained high water bills often point to a leak on your water main. We can determine if the leak is inside or outside your property and pinpoint its exact location.

Underfloor Heating Leaks

Problems with your underfloor heating could indicate a leak in the system. We can trace these leaks without lifting your entire floor.

Shower and Bathroom Leaks
