Learn moreFour ways to find one leak
Ground microphones and correlators follow the sound of escaping water through floors, walls and soil.
Infrared cameras map temperature anomalies — hot pipe runs, cold evaporation patches, spreading moisture.
A safe hydrogen mix escapes through the same hole the water does, and rises straight to our detector.
Calibrated meters profile how far water has actually travelled — the evidence layer behind every report.

Boiler kept losing pressure and two plumbers couldn't find why. These guys traced it to a pinhole leak under the kitchen screed with thermal imaging in under an hour. No find no fee meant no gamble. Proper written report for my insurer too.

Damp patch spreading across the ceiling in our Islington flat. The engineer used acoustic gear and tracer gas, pinpointed the leak in the upstairs bathroom waste, and didn't rip up half the floor to do it. Clear fixed price up front.

Water meter was spinning with everything off. They found an underground supply pipe leak in the driveway without digging the whole thing up. Honest about cost and the report was exactly what Thames Water asked for.

Called on a Sunday with water coming through a light fitting. Someone answered, an engineer arrived within the window they promised, isolated it and made it safe the same day. Can't fault the response.

Underfloor heating had lost pressure for months. They mapped the loop and found the leak spot on, saving us from lifting the whole floor. Tidy, punctual and explained everything without the usual scare tactics.

Insurance wanted a trace and access report before they'd pay out. The report they produced — cause, origin, moisture readings, photos — got the claim approved with no back and forth. Worth every penny.

6 min readBefore you book
A standard domestic detection visit is a fixed fee agreed when you book, covered by no find, no fee. Most visits take two to four hours and include acoustic, thermal and moisture testing, with tracer gas added for stubborn leaks. Repairs are quoted separately before any work starts — see our pricing page for current figures.
Correct. If we attend a confirmed live leak and fail to locate it, the detection fee is waived. It keeps the incentive honest: we get paid for finding leaks, not for visiting.
Usually. Our detection engineers are qualified plumbers carrying pipe and fittings, so straightforward repairs happen on the day. Larger repairs — buried mains, underfloor heating loops — are quoted precisely once the leak is marked.
Most buildings policies include trace and access cover, which pays for locating a hidden leak and making good the access. Our reports are structured for UK insurers and routinely accepted without a follow-up visit.
