Specialists in Leak Detection for Manchester
If left unresolved, hidden leaks can cause serious damage to your property. Damp patches, mould growth, damaged plaster, wet flooring and rising water bills can all be signs of a leak behind the surface.

We provide leak detection across Manchester and Greater Manchester, including Manchester city centre, Salford, Stockport, Trafford, Didsbury, Chorlton, Sale, Altrincham, Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale and Wigan.
Our Leak Detection Equipment
Thermal imaging
Thermal imaging is especially useful in some Manchester properties where pipework is hidden behind plaster, beneath flooring or inside ceiling voids.
In apartments, terraces and commercial units, escaping water can travel away from the original leak before it becomes visible. Our infrared cameras help identify temperature changes that may indicate hidden moisture, allowing us to investigate without immediately lifting floors or opening walls.
Non-Destructive Moisture Meters
We use non-destructive moisture meters to check how far water has spread through walls, floors, ceilings and surrounding materials.
This is particularly important in many Manchester homes and commercial buildings where water from a bathroom, kitchen, heating system or neighbouring property may have tracked beneath flooring or behind plaster before signs of damp appear.
By taking multiple readings, we build a clearer picture of the affected area and identify where further investigation is needed.
Gas Trace Detection
Gas trace detection is used when a hidden pipe leak cannot be found through visual inspection, moisture readings or thermal imaging alone.
This method can be useful for difficult leaks in mains water pipes, heating systems or concealed pipework beneath floors. A safe hydrogen and nitrogen gas mixture is introduced into the isolated pipework. If there is a leak, the gas escapes at the fault and is detected using specialist equipment.
The gas is non-toxic, non-corrosive and safe for domestic and commercial properties.
Borescope
A borescope allows our engineers to inspect concealed spaces through small access points.
This can help when checking behind bathroom fittings, under baths and shower trays, inside ceiling voids, beneath suspended floors, within pipe boxing or behind tiled areas.
For some Manchester properties where access is limited, especially flats, older terraces and converted buildings, borescope inspection can reduce unnecessary disruption while helping us confirm the source of the leak.
