What this service covers
- Acoustic leak tracing
- Moisture meter checks
- Thermal inspection
- Written repair recommendations
A hidden leak can run for weeks before it becomes visible. Damp skirting, mould, unexplained water bills and warm floor patches are all signs that a pressure line or waste pipe may be leaking out of sight.
Professional leak detection narrows the fault before destructive work begins. Contractors may use acoustic listening, pressure testing, moisture readings and thermal imaging depending on the symptoms and pipe layout.
Once the leak is found, the plumber can quote for the smallest practical repair and advise whether a compliance certificate or insurance report is needed.
How to prepare before the plumber arrives
Take photos of visible damage, clear access to the affected area, and avoid opening walls or ceilings unless a contractor advises you to do so. If water is active, shut the main supply and isolate the geyser if hot water is involved.
