Leak Detection | Leak Detection Specialists | Aspect (2024)

A plumber can fix most visible plumbing leaks without delay. However, if the source of a water leak is hidden, a leak detection specialist is a better option. They can accurately locate leaks without exposing pipes.

Unlike some leak detection companies, we offer a complete end-to-end service. Our water leak detection services include:

• Trace and access investigation
• Support for home insurance claims
• Water leak repairs
• Full reinstatement of water damaged areas

An Aspect leak detection specialist will help prevent further damage to your property. They’ll locate the source of a water leak or ingress. A detailed report is provided as part of every investigation. Finally, they’ll provide a fixed price quote for repairing the problem, including full refurbishment of any water damaged areas.

• Excellent service from Michael and team of Aspect. An underground leak was quickly identified, and its precise location pin-pointed swiftly with up-to-date equipment. It required digging which was kept to a minimum. Michael liaised with Thames Water and repaired the leak in record time. Overall very professional work.

• We had a hidden leak on our central heating system. Nabeel from Aspect was booked to carry out a detailed check of the entire system. He attended and did a gas trace test. An in-depth investigation was carried out and located an area of concern from the findings. Quick turn around, problem solved and highly recommend!

• Leak detection engineer explained how my house's plumbing works and some issues that I may want to fix in the future. He showed me how he searched for the leak and I got a better understanding of how the whole process works as he explained each step. In the end, he found and fixed the leak. Very happy with the service.

• I was really impressed with the work done by Aspect and more specifically Dean who helped fix a leak for me. He did a thorough check and made sure there were no other issues and left me feeling confident our problems have been resolved.

• A leak detection specialist arrived on time and using various testing methods managed to identify the source of my leak. He was friendly and helpful and did just what I needed him to do.

  Garth, Sudbury, CO10

• Dean was fantastic. He quickly established the cause of the leak, dealt with the issue and explained it very well. He was courteous and pleasant to deal with. The speed of service, given the urgency, was brilliant too.

• The engineer who came to source the leak was highly experienced and in no time he found the leak which was beneath the shower tray in the bathroom. We'd had several plumbers who couldn't find the leak before. Therefore I can only highly recommended him for the leak detection work.

  Javed, Basingstoke, RG23

• The experience was made great because of the people you sent, especially Ali. He was thoughtful e.g. asking us if it was OK to turn off the water and treating us and our house with respect. He liaised with Thames Water and took that pressure from us and most of all he knows his trade so the technical aspects of the leak detection were not traumatic because we had confidence in him.

  Leonie, Windsor, SL4

• I've had a ceiling leak issue for several years, and have had many people round to advise and try and fix, but nothing had worked. Adam had worked out the issue within an hour, and already provided directions on a plan to fix it permanently. Nothing more needs to be said - if you've got a leak he's going to detect it.

  Matt, Haverhill, CB9

• Marcin arrived on time for leak detection work in our basem*nt. The leak was detected and I feel he made a thorough investigation. He has to come back again to check if this was the only avenue for water to get in and check if it’s has all dried up after his remedial works, but we are very happy with what he has done so far and feel he was extremely kind and understanding throughout this job. Thank you so much!!

• Leaks In Underground Pipes
• Central Heating System Leaks
• Removing Mould From Walls

The equipment used by our leak detection specialists for locating leaks are mainly non destructive. Leaks can be traced without having to expose pipes. The approach is cost effective compared to exposing parts of a property in the vain hope of finding a leak.

This approach is required by most insurance companies when an “escape of water” claim is being made.

Detection methods include:

• Thermal imaging
• Tracer gas
• Acoustic surveys
• Moisture meters
• Borescope cameras
• Salts analysis

Each of our leak detection tradespeople has a background in a specialist trade. This means we can schedule someone with the most relevant knowledge for every investigation. We can predict the type of leak based on information we ask at the point of booking. For example, if a boiler is losing pressure, and a central heating leak is suspected, we’ll send a leak detection specialist who’s Gas Safe registered.

As well as finding leaks in plumbing and heating systems, we can find any other type of leak in a property. We have expert roofers to investigate leaking roofs and gutter problems. We have drainage engineers to investigate waste and soil water leaks. We even have builders to detect water ingress through brickwork and masonry.

All of our leak detection specialists are fully equipped and can find a leak anywhere in a property. Their relevant trade knowledge means they can usually fix the problem quickly. It also means they can usually provide a fixed price quote for subsequent refurbishment work quickly.
