How Our Trace and Access Survey Services Work

Our trace and access survey services provide an efficient solution for locating leaks and faults within your drainage installation without the need for invasive digging or disruption. This service is particularly beneficial for identifying hidden issues that may be causing water damage or affecting the efficiency of your drainage system. We utilise a range of advanced techniques, including thermal imaging, acoustic detection, and tracer gas, depending on the situation and the structure of the property.

We begin by assessing the drainage layout and identifying potential areas where leaks or blockages may be affecting performance. Thermal imaging allows us to detect temperature differences, revealing any hidden leaks or moisture accumulation. For precise location, we employ acoustic listening devices that can pick up the faint sounds of water escaping, even behind walls or underground. In cases where leaks are more challenging to trace, we introduce non-toxic tracer gas into the system, which escapes at the leak site and is easily detected by our equipment.

Following the survey, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the findings, including any identified faults and recommended repairs. Our trace and access surveys help maintain the integrity of your drainage installation, ensuring it operates efficiently while preventing costly structural damage over time.
