Common Signs of an Internal Water Leak

  • Unexplained water damage or mould

  • Warm spots or damp patches on floors or walls

  • Reduced water pressure or boiler losing pressure

  • Sound of running water when no taps are on

  • Spikes in water usage or bills

Where Do Internal Leaks Typically Occur?

Internal leaks can develop in any part of your water or heating system, especially where pipework is concealed behind or under surfaces. Common locations include:

  • Central heating pipes beneath floors

  • Leaks in walls or ceiling voids

  • Under concrete slab foundations

  • Behind bathroom tiles or sanitaryware

  • Kitchen or utility areas with hidden pipe runs

  • Internal mains supply pipes

How We Detect Internal Leaks

Our engineers are trained in a range of high-precision, non-destructive detection techniques, including:

  • Thermal imaging: Detects temperature changes from hot or cold water leaks
  • Tracer gas testing: An inert gas mixture is introduced into the pipework and tracked by sensors
  • Acoustic detection: Sensitive equipment listens for sound frequencies from leaking water
  • Moisture mapping: Identifies hidden damp using specialist tools
  • CCTV inspection: For internal drains or concealed pipework access

These methods are safe, accurate, and help us avoid unnecessary damage to your property.
