We are a local leak detection company covering Berkhamsted
We use advance non-invasive leak detection equipment to pinpoint your leak. There is no damage to your property, i.e. no drilling, excavation, dirt or disruption.
Our leak detection engineers in Berkhamsted are qualified plumbers and have many year’s experience in installing and maintaining all types of plumbing systems. Once we have found your leak we will also be able to make arrangements for repairs to be conducted alongside any drying works required to extract water.
We provide a photographic insurance catered report within 48 hours of our visit.
In most cases the cost of our service is recoverable from your building insurance as part of ‘trace and access’ or under ‘escape of water’ cover.
We deploy the below methods to trace a leak:
- Gas tracing using an inert hydrogen/nitrogen gas which can pass through most materials including timber, concrete and tiles.
- Thermal imaging which identifies hot and central heating pipes under floors and in walls.
- Acoustic microphones which is a hearing method.
- Endoscopic cameras which can see into hidden and small spaces.
- Protimeter advanced moisture meters to tell us exactly where the damp is.
- Moisture mapping surveys
- Consumption tests which measure any ‘unknown’ water usage when all taps and other outlets are turned off.
- Pressure testing to identify leaking systems.
- Wet and air testing of waste and drains internally.
- UV dye testing.
