📋 Professional Detection Process

Our systematic approach to water leak detection in Heathfield 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 meters, we map affected areas to understand water movement patterns. This reveals how water travels through your property structure. 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 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 Heathfield properties:

Mains Water Leaks

High water bills often indicate mains leaks between the meter and property. Our Devon leak specialists locate these without extensive excavation, particularly important for businesses avoiding operational disruption.

Central Heating Leaks

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

Underfloor Heating Issues

Modern properties with underfloor heating benefit from our thermal imaging expertise, locating leaks within the screed layer quickly and accurately. If you're wondering who to call for leak under floor, we're your local experts.

Underground Pipe Leaks

External leaks in industrial yards or residential gardens need specialist equipment. Our underground water leak detection service uses acoustic and tracer gas methods for accurate location.

🔍 When to Call for Professional Detection

Recognising the signs of a hidden leak early can save thousands in repairs. Contact our TQ12 leak detection team if you notice:

Rising Water Bills

Unexplained increases in water usage often indicate hidden leaks. Even small leaks waste significant water over time - we help identify and stop this waste quickly.

Damp Patches or Mould

Persistent damp areas, especially those that worsen after rain or when heating is used, suggest hidden leaks. Our equipment identifies the source without exploratory damage. Check our guide on how to find leak in wall or ceiling.

Pressure Loss

If your boiler constantly needs topping up or loses pressure overnight, you likely have a heating system leak. Understanding boiler pressure keeps dropping helps identify when professional help is needed.

Sound of Running Water

Hearing water movement when all taps are off indicates a leak. Our acoustic detection pinpoints these sounds' exact source, even through concrete.

💡 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, particularly important for industrial properties with expensive equipment.

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 - crucial for high-usage industrial operations.

Avoid Mould Growth

Hidden leaks create perfect conditions for mould, affecting health and property value. Professional detection stops problems before they develop. Learn about what causes condensation practical fixes hidden leaks.

Insurance Compliance

Many insurers require professional leak detection reports for claims. Our comprehensive documentation supports your claim process, explaining what is trace and access for insurance purposes.
