Leak detection and burst pipe repairs to protect your property
Hidden leaks can erode your home’s fabric quickly — rapid leak detection saves water and limits costly repairs.
We use non‑invasive detection tools such as acoustic listening, pressure testing and thermal imaging to find leaks without unnecessary damage.
On arrival we isolate the affected line to stop water loss, then carry out a targeted repair or a quality replacement where required.
Non‑invasive detection methods and lasting repairs
- Acoustic and thermal detection to locate hidden leaks with minimal demolition.
- Pressure testing to confirm the source, then fast isolation of the damaged pipe.
- Stabilise burst situations, replace the compromised section and use trusted fittings for durable repairs.
- Post‑repair testing to ensure no further leaks and normal water pressure is restored.
| Technique | Best used for | Outcome |
|---|---|---|
| Acoustic listening | Hidden domestic leaks in walls/floors | Pinpoint location, reduce exploratory damage |
| Thermal imaging | Cold or warm water tracing and damp mapping | Quick detection and visual evidence |
| Pressure testing | Confirming leaks in pipe runs or fittings | Accurate diagnosis, guides targeted repair |
We also address causes such as pressure issues, corrosion or movement and advise on prevention like pressure regulation and insulation.
