⚡ Advanced Detection Technology
Our non-invasive leak detection uses 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 Coldeast's varied property types, from older buildings to modern insulated homes.
Electronic Correlators
Precisely calculate leak positions on underground mains by comparing sound waves. Our mains water leak detection uses this technology daily throughout rural Devon.
Hydrogen Gas Detection
Safe tracer gas rises through most building materials to indicate leak locations. Perfect for complex pipework routes in converted properties and older buildings around Coldeast.
Digital Acoustic Equipment
Ultra-sensitive microphones detect the unique frequency signature of water escaping under pressure. This is crucial when finding leaks in central heating systems.
🚿 Specialist Services for Coldeast Properties

📋 Professional Detection Process
Our systematic approach to water leak detection in Coldeast 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. Understanding moisture meter readings helps us track water movement.
Moisture Mapping
Using professional moisture meters, we map affected areas to understand water movement patterns. This reveals how water travels through your property structure, particularly important in Coldeast's older buildings where water can travel surprising distances.
Equipment Deployment
Based on initial findings, we select appropriate detection equipment. Our tracer gas leak detection service often provides the quickest results for complex underground leaks, while thermal imaging excels at internal detection.
Verification & Reporting
Once located, we verify the leak using multiple methods to ensure accuracy. You receive a comprehensive trace and access report with photographs and recommendations for repair.
🚰 Types of Leaks We Detect
DCI Leak Detection handles all types of water leaks affecting Coldeast 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, particularly important for Coldeast's long rural driveways.
Central Heating Leaks
Dropping boiler pressure usually means a heating system leak. If you're wondering why your boiler pressure keeps dropping, our central heating leak detection finds these leaks in pipework hidden under floors or behind walls.
Underfloor Heating Issues
Modern properties and conversions with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise. Our underfloor heating leak detection service locates leaks within the screed layer quickly and accurately.
Underground Pipe Leaks
External leaks in gardens, driveways or farmyards need specialist equipment. Our underground water leak detection uses acoustic and tracer gas methods for accurate location without unnecessary excavation.

💡 Why Early Detection Matters
Prevent Structural Damage
Undetected leaks cause serious structural problems. Water weakens foundations, rots timber, and damages plaster. Early detection prevents costly repairs - particularly important in Coldeast's older properties where traditional building methods are more susceptible to water damage.
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. If you've noticed a water leak notification from South West Water, we can help.
Avoid Mould Growth
Hidden leaks create perfect conditions for mould, affecting health and property value. Professional detection stops problems before they develop, protecting both your family's health and your property investment.
Insurance Compliance
Many insurers require professional leak detection reports for claims. Our comprehensive documentation supports your claim process with detailed evidence and clear repair recommendations.
Professional Recommendation: If you suspect a leak, don't delay. Early detection prevents minor problems becoming major damage. Our specialist water leak detection team can assess your situation over the phone and provide immediate advice.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a leak detection survey take in Coldeast properties?
Most leak detection surveys in Coldeast take between 2 to 6 hours, depending on your property type and the complexity of the leak. Rural properties with long pipe runs or multiple outbuildings may take longer. For larger commercial properties such as farms or holiday lets, detection work can extend beyond this timeframe. Our engineers dedicate sufficient time to thoroughly investigate your property using multiple detection methods to accurately locate the leak source.
Will leak detection damage my Coldeast property?
Our leak detection methods are designed to be non-invasive and prevent unnecessary damage to your property. We use thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening equipment, and tracer gas technology to locate leaks without breaking walls or lifting floors. However, in some cases where the leak is located behind tiles, under concrete, or within walls, minimal access work may be required to confirm the exact location and carry out repairs. We always discuss this with you before proceeding and minimise any disruption.
What equipment do you use to find water leaks in rural Devon properties?
We use a comprehensive range of professional leak detection equipment including thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature changes, acoustic listening devices to hear water escaping under pressure, tracer gas systems that identify leak locations through building materials, moisture meters to map water damage, and electronic correlators for underground mains leaks. Each piece of equipment serves a specific purpose, and we select the most appropriate tools based on your property type and the suspected leak location.
Why does my boiler keep losing pressure in my Coldeast home?
A boiler that continuously loses pressure typically indicates a leak somewhere in your central heating system. This could be a leak in the pipework hidden under floors, behind walls, or within radiator connections. In rural properties like those around Coldeast and Liverton, long pipe runs and older heating systems can develop small leaks that cause gradual pressure loss. It’s important to note that the leak detection service finds leaks in your heating pipework – if the issue is with the boiler itself, you’ll need a Gas Safe registered heating engineer.
Can you detect leaks under concrete floors and screed?
Yes, we regularly locate leaks beneath concrete floors and screed in both modern and older properties throughout Coldeast. We use specialised equipment including tracer gas detection and acoustic listening devices that work through concrete. For underfloor heating systems embedded in screed, thermal imaging cameras can identify temperature variations that indicate the leak location. Once located, we mark the precise area to minimise the amount of concrete that needs to be removed for repair access.
What is Trace and Access, and is it covered by insurance?
Trace and Access is an insurance industry term referring to the process of locating and accessing a hidden water leak. The “trace” part covers finding the leak using specialist equipment, whilst “access” covers making the leak visible for repair by lifting floorboards or removing sections of wall. Most buildings insurance policies in the UK include Trace and Access cover, which means you can claim back the cost of leak detection and the work needed to access the leak. Always check your specific policy documents or contact your insurer to confirm your cover before booking.
