Detection & Mapping

Finally, we use cutting-edge technology and specialised skills to accurately locate leaks or underground services.

How quickly can LeakTech attend to my leak?

We have local teams that can locate your leaks swiftly. In most cases, we can attend the next day. Same-day leak detection services may be available depending on location and workload. If the issue is urgent, it’s best to call so we can prioritise accordingly.

What types of leaks can LeakTech detect?

We detect a wide range of leaks, including concealed water leaks in walls, ceilings, floors and bathrooms, gas leaks, slab leaks and underground water leaks. This includes residential properties where the source is not visible.

How do you actually detect a leak?

We use a combination of leak detection methods depending on the situation, including thermal imaging leak detection, acoustic detection, tracer gas leak detection and CCTV inspections. The approach is based on where the leak is likely to be and how accessible it is.

Can you find leaks and underground services without digging or damaging property?

Yes. Most leak detection and underground service location is non-invasive. Using tools like thermal imaging and ground penetrating radar GPR, we can accurately locate leaks and underground services without unnecessary excavation.

How accurate are your leak detection and service location?

Our leak detection and underground service location processes focus on confirming the exact water leak location, gas leak source or underground service, not just identifying a general area. Accuracy depends on the situation, but the goal is always to provide a clear, reliable result that can be acted on without any guesswork.

Do you provide a report after detecting the leak?

Yes. We provide a clear explanation of what was found, including the location of the leak and recommended next steps. This can be used by plumbers, builders or insurers if required.

What are common signs that my home has a water leak?

Common signs of a hidden leak include a high water bill, damp areas, mould, low water pressure, or water damage, such as ceiling staining or a leaking bathroom. If something does not seem right, it is worth investigating early.

Why do I need a professional underground service location?

While you can try your luck with free plans from Dial Before You Dig or utility companies, we don’t recommend it. These plans are often out-of-date and inaccurate. To ensure the safety and success of your project, it is best to contact qualified, professional CERTLOC-certified and Accredited Plant Locators, like our team at LeakTech.

What underground services can you locate?

Using advanced concrete scanning and GPR scanning technology, our LeakTech specialists can accurately locate the presence and depth of:

Water mains – all types, including asbestos, blue brut
Pipes – plastic, poly, PVC
Fire main valves
Fibre optic cables
Road crossings
Rising mains
Buried manhole covers
Underground tanks and pits
