Track and trace leak detection is a structured approach used to locate hidden water leaks within domestic and commercial properties. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a combination of specialist techniques to accurately trace pipework and pinpoint the source of a leak with minimal disruption.
This approach is particularly effective for underground water supply pipes, concealed pipework within walls and floors, and systems where leaks are not immediately visible.
We use a combination of non-invasive detection methods depending on the system, access, and symptoms observed on site.
Track and trace methods are typically used when a leak is suspected but cannot be located visually. This includes situations where pipework is concealed or underground.
Unexplained water loss or high water bills
Leaks beneath floors or within walls
Underground water supply pipe leaks
Underfloor heating system faults
Intermittent leaks that are difficult to locate
Our approach focuses on identifying the most likely leak location without unnecessary excavation or damage. By combining multiple detection methods, we can narrow down the affected area and provide clear, reliable findings.
This ensures any follow-on repair work is targeted, reducing time, cost, and disruption to the property.
Track and trace leak detection often involves a combination of the following methods:
Depending on the system and access available, we may also use other methods to support the investigation.
