📋 Professional Leak Detection Process

Our systematic approach to water leak detection ensures we find leaks quickly while protecting your property:

Visual Inspection

We start by examining visible signs - damp patches, mould growth, or water stains. This helps narrow down potential leak areas before deploying equipment.

Moisture Mapping

Using professional moisture meters, we map affected areas to understand water movement patterns. Our guide on moisture meter readings explained shows how this reveals water travel through your property structure.

Equipment Deployment

Based on initial findings, we select appropriate detection equipment. Thermal imaging leak detection 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.

🚰 Types of Leaks We Detect

DCI Leak Detection handles all types of water leaks affecting Perranporth 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're experiencing issues, our blog on water leak between meter and house provides helpful information.

Central Heating Leaks

Dropping boiler pressure usually means a heating system leak. Our central heating leak detection finds these leaks in pipework hidden under floors or behind walls. Learn more about what causes boiler to lose pressure in our detailed guide.

Underfloor Heating Issues

Modern properties with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise, locating leaks within the screed layer quickly and accurately. Our article on underfloor heating leaks: what happens and what to do explains the process.

Underground Pipe Leaks

External leaks in gardens or driveways need specialist equipment. Underground water leak detection uses acoustic and tracer gas methods for accurate location. Check our guide on how to find a water leak underground for more details.

💡 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.

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.
