The method follows
the evidence.

Different pipework and building materials need different checks. A good investigation brings the findings together instead of relying on one reading.

Listening for sound produced by escaping water can help narrow a pressurised pipe leak.

Surface temperature patterns can reveal useful clues around heating pipework and moisture.

Checking whether a suitable isolated system holds pressure can help narrow which pipework is affected.

In suitable pipework, a specialist tracer gas can help locate a hidden escape route.

Comparing moisture readings across an affected area helps build a picture of where dampness has spread.

A small inspection camera can provide a view into an accessible void without a large opening.

Suitable controlled testing can help investigate leaks associated with fittings, wastes and water use.

Comparing leak noise at suitable points can help estimate a position along a known pipe section.

LET’S START WITH WHAT YOU KNOW

happening at home.

A damp patch. A moving meter. A boiler that keeps losing pressure. You don’t need to know where the leak is to make an enquiry.
