Thermal Imaging Leak Detection

The duration of the thermal imaging leak detection process varies depending on the complexity of the leak and the size of your property. Typically, our experienced engineers can detect and locate water leaks underground within 2 to 4 hours. Our advanced technology allows us to work efficiently, minimising disruption to your day.

To ensure a smooth and efficient thermal imaging leak detection process, please consider the following:

• Provide Access: Ensure all areas of your property are accessible, especially where you suspect a thermal imaging leak.
• Clear Clutter: Remove any items that might obstruct access to plumbing fixtures, pipes, or affected areas.
• Secure Pets: Keep pets in a safe area to prevent stress or interference during the detection process.
• Inform Occupants: Let family members or staff know about the scheduled appointment to minimise disruptions.

Our thermal imaging leak detection specialists use non-invasive techniques to locate water leaks underground, which means we typically do not need to cause any damage to your property. In rare cases where access is necessary for repairs, we keep disruption to a minimum and discuss all options with you beforehand.

Many home insurance policies cover the cost of thermal imaging leak detection under a provision known as “Trace and Access Cover.” This coverage typically includes:

• Detection Costs: Expenses related to hiring professionals to detect and locate water leaks underground.
• Access Costs: Costs associated with accessing the leak for repairs.

We recommend reviewing your policy or contacting your insurance provider to confirm coverage. We can provide detailed thermal imaging leak detection reports and documentation to assist with your insurance claim.

Common causes of water leaks that require thermal imaging leak detection include:

• Corroded Pipes: Over time, underground pipes can corrode, leading to leaks.
• High Water Pressure: Excessive pressure can strain underground pipes and cause them to burst.
• Soil Movement: Shifting soil or ground movement can damage underground pipes, leading to leaks.
• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots can infiltrate underground pipes, causing cracks and leaks.
• Improper Installation: Faulty installation of underground pipes can lead to leaks over time.
• Age of Infrastructure: Older plumbing systems are more prone to leaks due to wear and tear.
