Moisture, Damp & Mould Diagnostics
Undetected leaks can lead to costly repairs, structural damage and mould growth. Our professional leak detection services use advanced technology to locate leaks quickly and accurately, saving you time and money. By pinpointing the source of a leak, we can help prevent unnecessary and costly damage to your property.
Using Thermal Imaging to Identify Leak Areas
Our leak detection process starts with advanced thermal imaging. This technology detects temperature variations in walls and floors, showing cooler areas in shades of blue and warmer areas in shades of red. Cooler areas can indicate potential water leaks and help us identify where moisture may be present.
By identifying these temperature differences, we can focus our inspection more effectively, minimising unnecessary exploration and damage to your property.
Measuring Moisture Levels in Walls and Floors
To further assess potential leak areas, we use advanced moisture meters to measure moisture levels within walls and floors. This provides precise readings, helping us determine the extent of water intrusion and whether further investigation or repairs may be needed.
By cross-referencing these moisture readings with our thermal and sonic detection results, we can provide a more complete assessment of the affected areas.
Tracer Dye Leak Detection
Tracer Dye Leak Detection is a precise and effective method for identifying leaks in plumbing, roofs and other water-related areas. By introducing a non-toxic, biodegradable fluorescent dye into suspected areas, we can trace water pathways with high accuracy.
When illuminated with UV light, the dye glows, revealing hidden leaks. This technique is especially useful for detecting leaks in hard-to-reach places such as behind walls and under floors.
Tracer dye detection can help identify the source of a leak, prevent further damage and reduce unnecessary repair costs.
Frequently Asked Questions - Leak Detection Inspection
QUESTION: How do you detect leaks in a home?
ANSWER: We use thermal imaging, moisture meters and visual assessment to investigate signs of hidden moisture, leaks and damp intrusion without opening walls or floors.
QUESTION: Can thermal imaging really find a leak?
ANSWER: Thermal imaging can identify temperature patterns that may indicate moisture or a leak. We use moisture measurements and other observations to help assess the affected area and determine whether further investigation is needed.
QUESTION: Do you cut walls open to find the leak?
ANSWER: No. Our leak detection inspections are non-invasive. We do not open walls or floors. If further investigation or access is required, we explain what is needed in the report.
QUESTION: Can you find leaks inside walls or floors?
ANSWER: We can identify signs of possible moisture or leaks in areas such as walls, floors, ceilings and behind accessible finishes. Thermal imaging and moisture measurements can help locate affected areas, although further testing may be needed to confirm the source.
QUESTION: Do you check both hot and cold water leaks?
ANSWER: Yes. We can investigate signs of leaks involving hot and cold water systems, using visual assessment, moisture measurements and other appropriate diagnostic methods.
QUESTION: Can you detect roof or ceiling leaks?
ANSWER: Yes. We can investigate signs of moisture intrusion around ceilings and roof areas. Where appropriate, thermal imaging and moisture measurements can help identify affected areas and possible sources.
QUESTION: How long does a leak detection inspection take?
ANSWER: Typically 45–90 minutes, depending on the property, the area being investigated and the complexity of the issue.
QUESTION: Do you provide a written report?
ANSWER: Yes. Every inspection includes a professional report with relevant photographs, findings and moisture or thermal readings where applicable.
