Leak Detection Cambridgeshire

Leak Detection Specialists Cambridgeshire

When you suspect a water leak in your Cambridgeshire property, getting it found quickly matters. Left alone, even a small leak can damage timber floors, plasterwork and electrics – causing damp and mould that becomes expensive to fix.

Complete Leak Detection provides specialist leak detection services throughout Cambridgeshire. Our leak detection engineers cover Cambridge, Peterborough, Huntingdon, Ely, St Neots, and everywhere in between using non-destructive testing methods to locate hidden leaks accurately.

Our Leak Detection Services

We offer a comprehensive range of damp detection services and leak repair investigation to locate leaks anywhere in your property – behind walls, beneath floors, underground, within your heating system. Our multi-method approach means we find the actual source of the problem, not just where the water ends up.

Leak Detection Technology We Use

Finding a hidden leak takes more than guesswork. Our leak detection engineers use multiple non-destructive testing technologies, choosing the most appropriate methods based on your property type and the suspected leak location. This multi-method approach gives us the best chance of pinpointing the leak while keeping disruption to a minimum.

1

Thermal Imaging

Our thermal imaging surveys use infrared cameras to detect temperature differences caused by escaping water. Ideal for locating leaks behind walls and beneath floors without damage.

2

Acoustic Listening

Acoustic listening equipment uses sensitive microphones to detect the sound of water escaping under pressure. Excellent for tracing leaks in mains supply pipes.

3

Tracer Gas Detection

For heating systems and underfloor circuits, tracer gas detection introduces a safe gas that escapes at the leak point and rises to the surface for detection.

4

Moisture Mapping

We use advanced moisture meters and mapping to track dampness through building materials, helping trace the leak path back to its source with precision.

Leak Detection for Cambridgeshire Property Types

Cambridgeshire's housing stock varies considerably – from historic properties in central Cambridge to modern developments in growing towns like Cambourne and Northstowe. Each property type has different construction methods, pipe materials and common leak points.

Period and Victorian Properties

Older properties throughout Cambridge, Ely, and historic market towns often have a mix of original and updated plumbing. Leaks commonly occur at joints between different pipe materials. Our thermal imaging and moisture mapping can trace these complex pipe runs without opening up the structure.

Modern Homes and New Builds

Newer properties often have plastic pipework that's less prone to corrosion, but leaks still occur at joints and manifolds. Underfloor heating systems are increasingly common, and a leak in these circuits requires specialist detection to avoid lifting large areas of flooring.

Signs You Might Have a Leak

Many leaks stay hidden for weeks or months before becoming obvious. By the time you see visible damage, significant water may already have been lost. If you've noticed any of these warning signs, our damp detection services can help – you can also use our quick leak checker tool to assess your situation.

Catching a leak early typically means simpler repairs, lower costs and less disruption to your home or business.
