Common questions about leak detection & repair
How do you find a leak without breaking tiles or concrete?+
Acoustic detection listens for the specific sound water makes escaping a pressurised pipe, and thermal imaging picks up temperature differences from hot water pipes. Together they narrow a leak to a small, precise area before any opening-up work.
Will my insurer accept your leak detection report?+
We provide a written report with photos and findings that's suitable to submit with an insurance claim, though acceptance always depends on your specific policy.
