Leak Detection Services

At London Drainage Services (LDS), we provide specialist leak detection services tailored for both domestic and commercial properties. With over 20 years of experience in tackling complex water-related issues across London and surrounding counties, our skilled engineers are committed to finding leaks quickly and with minimal disruption. We understand the stress and potential damage that a hidden leak can cause, so we offer a range of advanced detection methods to accurately trace and access the source, even in hard-to-reach areas like behind walls, under floors, and in loft spaces.

Using state-of-the-art tools, including ultrasound, thermography, and pressurised smoke testing, our team can locate hidden leaks without the need for invasive excavation. Our trace and access surveys allow us to pinpoint leaks efficiently, helping to prevent further water damage and reduce the need for costly repairs. From underfloor heating leaks to concealed pipes, LDS can detect the source with pinpoint precision, saving you time and money.

We also provide thorough thermal imaging surveys, an effective, non-destructive method to identify leaks. This technology enables us to capture detailed infrared images, allowing us to inspect areas accurately and apply a tailored solution. Every survey includes a comprehensive report with thermal images and expert repair recommendations, so you can have complete confidence in the results.

Whether it’s finding the origin of a leak in your home or tracing odours and pipe integrity with pressurised smoke testing, LDS offers a complete range of leak detection services to keep your property safe and dry. Our goal is to restore peace of mind with fast, reliable solutions that ensure your drainage system’s integrity and functionality.

Our Leak Detection Services offer a precise, non-invasive approach to identifying hidden leaks within your drainage installation, safeguarding your property from water damage and ensuring optimal system performance. We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of your drainage network, using advanced technology tailored to the specific needs of each property. This includes acoustic listening devices, moisture sensors, and thermal imaging, all designed to pinpoint leaks without the need for disruptive digging.

The process starts with a detailed visual inspection, followed by targeted use of our diagnostic tools to locate any hidden leaks. Acoustic equipment allows us to detect the sound of water escaping, even within walls or underground, while thermal imaging highlights temperature changes that may indicate water accumulation. For complex cases, we may also employ tracer gases to identify leak points accurately.

Once a leak is detected, we provide a comprehensive report detailing the location and severity of the issue, along with recommendations for repair. Our proactive leak detection approach not only addresses the immediate problem but also helps preserve the overall health of your drainage installation. By catching leaks early, we help prevent further damage and extend the lifespan of your drainage system, ensuring reliable performance for years to come.
