Leak Detection Roche

🔧 Why Choose DCI for Roche Leak Detection?

Finding a hidden water leak without the right equipment often leads to unnecessary damage. Our water leak detection service uses advanced technology to pinpoint leaks behind walls, under floors, and within heating systems - all without breaking a single tile.

We understand Roche's unique property mix. Located just off the A30 between St Austell and Newquay, the village features everything from traditional Cornish cottages to modern developments. Our thermal imaging leak detection works equally well on thick stone walls and modern plasterboard constructions.

Our thermal imaging specialists use equipment that detects temperature variations as small as 0.1°C. This precision allows us to identify moisture patterns invisible to the naked eye, marking leak locations accurately without any exploratory damage.

Whether you're dealing with a property near the Rock Inn on Fore Street or a modern development off Harmony Road, our non-invasive approach protects your investment while solving your leak problems efficiently.

🛠️ Detection Methods & Equipment

Every Roche leak detection survey follows our proven methodology, refined over thousands of successful jobs across Cornwall:

Our acoustic leak detection equipment picks up the distinctive sound signature of water escaping under pressure, even through thick walls or deep underground.

🎯 Common Leak Problems We Solve

Modern Estate Properties

Newer developments in Roche often feature underfloor heating systems. When these develop leaks, our underfloor heating leak detection service locates problems without damaging your floors.

Traditional Cornish Properties

Older homes in the village centre may have ageing pipework prone to joint failures. We pinpoint underground water leaks to handle these complications without extensive excavation.

Commercial Buildings

Commercial properties along Fore Street and the surrounding area benefit from our rapid response times. When you notice boiler pressure keeps dropping, we identify whether it's a system leak or other issues.

The combination of traditional buildings and modern developments means Roche leak specialists require versatile expertise. From Victorian-era pipework to modern plastic systems, we adapt our methods to suit each situation.

Our advanced equipment can detect leaks losing as little as 10 litres per hour - catching problems early before they escalate into major damage. This precision has made us the preferred choice for property owners throughout the PL26 area.

⚡ Advanced Detection Technology

Our non-invasive detection methods use industry-leading equipment that protects your property while finding leaks:

Thermal Imaging Cameras

These detect temperature differences caused by escaping water, even through walls and floors. Essential for identifying leaks in Roche's mix of property types, from solid stone walls to modern cavity constructions.

Electronic Correlators

Precisely calculate leak positions on underground mains by comparing sound waves at different points. Our mains water leak detection service uses this technology to locate leaks without digging.

Hydrogen Tracer Gas

Safe tracer gas rises through most building materials to indicate leak locations. Perfect for complex pipework routes where tracer gas leak detection provides the only reliable solution.

Digital Acoustic Equipment

Ultra-sensitive microphones detect the unique frequency signature of water escaping under pressure. This is crucial when you need central heating leak detection in complex systems.

🏊 Specialist Services for Roche Properties

Swimming Pool Leak Detection

For properties with pools, our swimming pool leak detection service locates leaks in pool structures, pipework, and filtration systems without draining.

Plumbing System Analysis

Complete plumbing leak detection services for all property types, from simple domestic systems to complex commercial installations.

Slab Leak Detection

Modern properties sometimes experience leaks beneath concrete floors. Our slab leak detection equipment locates these challenging leaks accurately.

Insurance Support Services

When required, our leak detection surveys include comprehensive reporting for insurance claims. Our trace and access reports meet all major insurers' requirements.

🔍 Professional Leak Detection Process

Our systematic approach to water leak detection in Roche 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. If you're wondering how to find a water leak, visual clues are often the first indicator.

Moisture Mapping

Using professional moisture meters, we map affected areas to understand water movement patterns. Our guide on moisture meter readings explained shows how we interpret these results.

Equipment Deployment

Based on initial findings, we select appropriate detection equipment. Thermal imaging often provides the quickest results for internal leaks, while acoustic methods excel for underground pipes.

Verification & Reporting

Once located, we verify the leak using multiple methods to ensure accuracy. You receive a comprehensive report with photographs and repair recommendations.

🚰 Types of Leaks We Detect

DCI handles all types of water leaks affecting Roche properties:

Mains Water Leaks

High water bills often indicate mains leaks between the meter and property. If you're experiencing water leaks between meter and house, our service locates these without extensive digging.

Central Heating Leaks

Dropping boiler pressure usually means a heating system leak. Learn how to find a leak in central heating system or let our Roche experts handle it quickly.

Underfloor Heating Issues

Modern properties with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise. Understanding underfloor heating leaks and what to do helps prevent major damage.

Underground Pipe Leaks

External leaks in gardens or driveways need specialist equipment. Learn how to find a water leak underground or call our experts for accurate detection.

💡 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 these costly repairs, especially important in Roche where varying ground conditions from the area's mining heritage can accelerate damage.

Reduce Water Bills

Even small leaks waste thousands of litres annually. A pinhole leak can lose 500 litres daily - that's potentially £300 extra on your quarterly bill. Quick detection and repair saves money while conserving water.

Avoid Mould Growth

Hidden leaks create perfect conditions for mould, affecting health and property value. Professional detection stops problems before they develop, crucial for maintaining healthy living environments.

Insurance Compliance

Many insurers require professional leak detection reports for claims. Our comprehensive documentation supports your claim process, ensuring you receive appropriate coverage for leak-related damage.

🔧 Additional Support Services

Gas Leak Detection

Safety is paramount when dealing with gas. Our gas leak detection specialists provide rapid response for suspected gas leaks.

Emergency Response

Water damage doesn't wait. Learn what to do if you have a water leak in your home while waiting for professional help.

Preventive Measures

Understanding how to find water shut-off valve can minimise damage during leak emergencies.

For water supply issues and emergency support, South West Water provides excellent resources for leak reporting and water conservation advice. For industry standards and best practices, the Water Regulations Advisory Scheme (WRAS) offers comprehensive guidance.
