Electronic Leak Detection
Pinpoint hidden plumbing leaks with a careful, evidence-led inspection plan. The goal is to narrow the location first and avoid unnecessary demolition.
Service overview
Why choose electronic leak detection?
A damp spot rarely tells the whole story. Combining appropriate listening, thermal and pressure checks can help distinguish a suspected slab leak from other sources before repair work begins.
- Ask for findings and limitations in writing.
- Compare suitable alternatives before approving work.
- Confirm testing, access and restoration are included in the scope.

FAQs
Common questions about electronic leak detection
Can you find a leak without breaking concrete?
Often the first stage is non-invasive testing. Access may still be needed for confirmation or repair, depending on the pipe and site conditions.
Does a thermal camera prove there is a leak?
No. Thermal patterns are clues, not proof by themselves. They should be interpreted alongside other checks and site conditions.
What happens after detection?
You should receive an explanation of the findings and options such as direct access repair, rerouting or repiping where suitable.
