Water Leak Detection

Survey first · fixed quote in 24h

  • Visual survey of the stain, the rooms around it and the area above
  • Thermal-imaging scan
  • Moisture mapping with readings recorded

Sound familiar?

  • There's a damp patch on the wall and nobody can tell us where it's from.
  • Our water bill jumped and the meter moves with every tap off.
  • Two contractors blamed different things and nothing was fixed.
  • The ceiling stain is nowhere near a bathroom or the roof.
  • We don't want walls broken open just to find the leak.

Every one of these has a lasting fix — once the source is found.

The Survey

What we check before quoting water leak detection

Most failed waterproofing jobs treated the stain, not the source. These are the points we check on every survey before we recommend a system or a price.

Thermal imaging

An infrared camera shows the cooler, wet areas behind tiles and plaster, tracing the path of the water back towards its source.

Moisture mapping

Moisture-meter readings across walls, floors and ceilings build a map of where it is wettest — the source is rarely where the stain shows.

Pipe pressure testing

Hot and cold supply lines isolated and pressure-tested to confirm or rule out a pipe leak before anything is opened.

Dye & flood tests

Showers, drains, roofs and terraces tested with dye or controlled flooding to prove which area lets water through.

The Scope

What's included

One fixed quote covers the full system for this service — preparation, membrane, details and testing — with no line-item creep once work begins.

  • Visual survey of the stain, the rooms around it and the area above
  • Thermal-imaging scan
  • Moisture mapping with readings recorded
  • Hot and cold pipe pressure tests
  • Dye and flood testing of wet areas, roofs and terraces

How It Works

From first photo to flood-tested

Start with photos on WhatsApp. We confirm the source, quote one fixed price and prove the finished work before handing it back.

  1. Describe the leak

    Send photos of the stain and tell us when it appears — after rain, after showers or all the time.

  2. Book the detection visit

    A fixed visit price confirmed upfront, scheduled at a time that suits you.

  3. Find the source

    Thermal, moisture, pressure and dye tests until the source is confirmed — no guesswork.

  4. Report & fixed quote

    A written report with photos, and a fixed quote for the repair if you want us to fix it.

Yes. Book the waterproofing within 30 days of your leak-detection visit and the detection fee comes off your price.

No — detection is non-destructive. Thermal imaging, moisture mapping and pressure testing locate the source first, so if anything has to be opened, it is one small, targeted area rather than exploratory demolition.

Yes. We test your own pipes and wet areas, and if they pass, the moisture pattern usually points to the unit or roof above. The written report gives you the evidence to take to the neighbour, landlord or building management.
