Leak Detection in Hampton and Twickenham
Hampton, Hampton Hill, Teddington and Twickenham are riverside family houses with refitted bathrooms, and in TW12 dye tests found exactly where a bath was leaking.
Leaks in Hampton and Twickenham homes
Hampton and Hampton Hill have Victorian and Edwardian villas and 1930s semis, Teddington and Twickenham add terraces near the river and flats near the stations. Most bathrooms have been refitted at least twice, and each refit leaves seals, wastes and overflows that can fail without anything visible.
In Hampton we ran two dye tests on a bath, green and then red, testing the waste, overflow and seals separately while checking the ceiling below. The colour appearing below identified the route the water was taking, and the repair was limited to that fitting. For pipework leaks we use thermal imaging and tracer gas in the same way as everywhere else.
Parking is unrestricted on most residential roads. The report covers the test results, photographs and moisture readings for a trace and access claim on your buildings insurance.

What we detect in Hampton and Twickenham
Water leak detection

Water leaks
Trace and access insurance reports
Leak detection carried out and documented the way insurers expect, with a report your claims handler can act on straight away.
Insurance reports
Central heating leak detection
A boiler that keeps dropping pressure means water is escaping somewhere in the heating circuit. We find the pipe or fitting and fix it.
Heating leaks
Thermal imaging leak surveys
A thermal imaging camera shows warm pipe runs and cool wet patches through floors and walls, so the leak is seen before anything is opened.
Thermal imaging
Water mains and underground leak detection
Leaking supply pipes under driveways, gardens and concrete floors, located with acoustic and tracer gas kit so only one small excavation is needed.
Mains & undergroundFrom your first call to a leak you can see in the report
Call or WhatsApp with a few photos and a line about the symptoms. We ask a handful of questions, agree a fixed price and book the survey, usually for the same or the next day.
On arrival we pressure test the mains, hot water and heating, check the meter and test the escaping water, so we know what we are looking for before the detection starts.
Thermal imaging, the acoustic ground microphone and tracer gas are used as the pipework dictates until the leak is marked on the floor or wall.
You get a written report with readings, thermal images and photographs, ready for a trace and access claim. If you want the leak fixed, we open that one spot and repair it.
