Leak detection. Found fast, without tearing your home apart.

A hidden leak is one of the most expensive problems a home can have. Left alone, it damages walls, floors, and foundations, and it pushes your water bill up every single month it goes unnoticed.

I use a thermal imaging camera to find leaks behind walls, under floors, and underground, without guessing and without smashing things open to go looking.

Signs you might have a hidden leak

Damp patches on walls or ceilings that keep coming back
Water bill rising with no clear reason
Musty smell that won't go away
Sound of running water when nothing's turned on
Sudden drop in water pressure

How I find it

I start with the thermal camera, which picks up temperature differences in the wall or floor caused by moving water. Once I've narrowed it down, I confirm the exact spot before opening anything up. Most of the time that means one small, precise repair instead of a wall pulled apart to search for the problem.

What happens after

Once I've found the leak, I'll show you exactly where it is and what caused it, then give you a clear price to fix it. If it's a bigger job, like old pipework that's failing in more than one place, I'll be honest about that too, rather than patching one spot and leaving you with the same problem next year.

Questions about finding leaks

How do you find a leak without breaking into walls?

I use a thermal imaging camera first, which picks up temperature differences caused by moving water. I only open up the exact spot once I've confirmed where the leak actually is.

How do I know if I have a hidden leak?

A damp patch that keeps coming back, a water bill that's risen with no clear reason, a musty smell, or the sound of running water when nothing's turned on are all signs worth checking.

Can a hidden leak cause serious damage?

Yes, left long enough it can damage walls, floors, and even a building's foundations, and it keeps costing you on your water bill the whole time it's undetected.
