Leak Detection Services in Donegal & Derry
Specialist leak detection and moisture mapping
Hidden leaks can cause long term damage and high bills. To swiftly identify the source and prevent additional loss, our leak detection service employs non-destructive techniques. Early action limits structural damage and speeds up the claims process.
Leak detection that is quick, precise, and non-invasive helps prevent needless openings. We use industry leading thermal imaging cameras and moisture mapping technology to pinpoint hidden leaks without damaging your property. Whether the issue is a burst pipe, an underfloor leak or slow moisture ingress behind walls or ceilings, our equipment helps detect and diagnose the problem before a plumber lifts a floorboard or removes a tile.
Methods we use
Thermal imaging to highlight temperature differences
Moisture mapping to trace damp paths in floors and walls
Acoustic testing to identify pipe noise and pinpoint location
Pressure testing to confirm system integrity
Visual inspection and dye tests where suitable
Why use our leak detection service
Non invasive technology
No drilling and no dismantling. Our instruments detect moisture and temperature differences through surfaces, saving you avoidable damage and repair costs.
Early intervention that reduces damage
Hidden leaks left unchecked can cause structural deterioration and mould. We help you act quickly, limiting long term issues and complications with insurance.
Insurance expertise built in
We are loss assessors as well as surveyors. We find the leak, help you start the claim and manage it through to settlement when required.
Evidence that strengthens your claim
Our moisture reports and thermal imagery are prepared for insurers. Decisions can be made more quickly and with less chance of disagreement later on if there is clear evidence.
Ideal for

Post incident moisture verification after flood or escape of water
A practical next step is to book a survey as soon as you notice signs of moisture. We can then advise on mitigation and help you plan repairs.
Heating and water systems
Leaks can arise on central heating circuits, hot and cold feeds and underfloor heating. We plan tests that avoid unnecessary opening while still giving a clear result for insurers in Donegal and Derry.
Roofs, balconies and flat roofs
Water can enter through membranes, flashings or joints. We trace ingress routes and suggest targeted opening so repairs are neat and effective.
Oil lines and tanks
Escaping oil can affect soil and building fabric. We coordinate safe isolation and testing and we record readings and photos that support claims and remediation.
Survey preparation
Before we arrive you can isolate water if safe to do so, take photos and clear access to suspected areas. We bring the required equipment and shoe covers to protect finishes. If pets are present we plan works around them.
Reporting for insurers
You receive a clear report with photos, readings and a summary of likely causes. Where policy wording requires trace and access we set out the areas opened and the reinstatement needed so the claim reflects the true cost.
From detection to repair
Finding the source is the first step. We can introduce plumbers, roofers or flooring specialists who work to measured scopes. We also advise on drying, dehumidification and confirming dryness before reinstatement.
