Moisture Mapping

Using professional moisture meters, we map affected areas to understand water movement patterns through your property structure.

Equipment Deployment

Based on initial findings, we select appropriate detection equipment. Thermal imaging often provides the quickest results for internal leaks.

Verification & Reporting

Once located, we verify the leak using multiple methods to ensure accuracy. You receive a comprehensive report with photographs and recommendations. Learn more about what trace and access involves for insurance purposes.

🚰 Types of Leaks We Detect

DCI Leak Detection handles all types of water leaks affecting Marldon properties:

Mains Water Leaks

High water bills often indicate mains leaks between the meter and property. Our mains water leak detection service locates these without extensive digging. If you suspect a problem, learn what to do if you think you have a water leak.

Central Heating Leaks

Dropping boiler pressure usually means a heating system leak. Our Marldon central heating leak detection service finds these leaks in pipework hidden under floors or behind walls. Discover why your boiler pressure keeps dropping.

Underfloor Heating Issues

Modern properties with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise. Learn about underfloor heating leaks and what to do when problems arise.

🌟 Why Early Leak Detection Matters

Prevent Structural Damage

Undetected leaks cause serious structural problems. Water weakens foundations, rots timber, and damages plaster. Early detection prevents costly repairs. Learn how to find a hidden water leak in your house before damage occurs.

Reduce Water Bills

Even small leaks waste thousands of litres annually. Quick detection and repair saves money on water bills while conserving this precious resource. South West Water customers can report concerns through their official website.

Avoid Mould Growth

Hidden leaks create perfect conditions for mould, affecting health and property value. Professional detection stops problems before they develop. Understanding what causes condensation versus hidden leaks helps identify the real issue.
