What Is Trace and Access?
Trace and access is the process of locating hidden water leaks using specialist, non-invasive equipment, then providing a clear report for your insurance company. Unlike traditional methods that rely on guesswork and can cause unnecessary damage, trace and access pinpoints the exact source of the problem quickly and efficiently.
Most home insurance policies require professional trace and access reporting before they will cover the cost of repairs. By using advanced technology such as tracer gas, acoustic listening, and thermal imaging, we can provide accurate results that support your claim and help you resolve the issue with minimal disruption.

Our service provides insurers with the detailed documentation they need.
At North West Leak Detection, we supply precise reports complete with photographs and readings from our specialist equipment.

By choosing trace and access, you not only locate the leak quickly but also streamline the insurance process, giving you peace of mind throughout.

Trace and access services often raise questions, especially when it comes to insurance claims. Below we’ve answered some of the most common queries about how our service works and why it’s important for customers across Liverpool and the North West.
Trace and access refers to the process of locating a hidden leak and providing evidence for your insurance company. Most insurers won’t cover repair costs unless the exact source of the leak has been identified by a professional. Our service pinpoints the problem using non-invasive methods and supplies a detailed report with photos and readings. This documentation supports your claim and makes the approval process smoother. By arranging trace and access early, you protect your property and avoid unnecessary disputes with your insurer.
Our trace and access report includes detailed findings from the detection process, photographs, and readings from our equipment. We document the precise location of the leak and outline the likely cause, giving insurers all the evidence they need to progress your claim. These reports are professionally formatted and insurance-approved, ensuring they meet industry standards. Having a clear record also helps any repair teams carry out work more efficiently, as they know exactly where the problem is. This reduces disruption, speeds up the repair process, and provides you with full transparency on the issue.
Many home insurance policies include cover for trace and access, though this can depend on the level of cover you have. It’s worth checking your policy wording or speaking to your insurer to confirm. Our reports are designed to meet insurance requirements, providing clear, professional evidence of the leak location. Even if your policy does not cover the cost of detection, having accurate trace and access results helps keep repair costs down by avoiding unnecessary excavation. In most cases, customers find that insurers accept our reports without issue, making the claims process far more straightforward.
