Leak Detection & Reporting
Don't guess where the water is coming from. We pinpoint the source with moisture mapping and thermal imaging, so the repair is targeted instead of speculative.
Most leaks we are called to have already been sealed once or twice by someone who never established where the water was entering. Finding that first is the whole job.
Our detection methods

Frequently asked questions
Finding the source of a leak requires proper investigation rather than guesswork, because water rarely comes out where it gets in. We use thermal imaging, moisture mapping, cavity cameras and controlled flood testing to trace water back to its true entry point. Only once the source is confirmed can the repair be targeted accurately.
How leak detection finds the real sourceCommon signs include water stains on ceilings or walls, damp or musty smells, bubbling or peeling paint, efflorescence (white mineral deposits), drummy or lifting tiles, and cracked or failing sealant around junctions. These often appear well away from where the water is actually entering, so the visible sign is rarely the source.
We carry out waterproofing remediation across balconies, terraces, rooftops, podiums, planter boxes, basements, retaining walls and internal wet areas. Water ingress in any of these areas can be traced and rectified, along with any associated building repairs the job requires.
