Leak Detection in Thame
In Thame the borescope camera went under a bathroom floor through a small opening and showed the pipework directly, so the repair was planned before a tile moved.
Leaks in Thame homes
Thame is a market town of timber-framed and Georgian houses on the High Street, Victorian terraces and modern estates on the edge, with villages such as Long Crendon, Chinnor and Haddenham around it. Old houses have pipework threaded through historic floors that nobody wants to lift.
On an OX9 job the borescope camera was fed through a small opening under a bathroom floor and showed the pipework, the joints and the wet area on screen. With that picture the repair could be planned exactly, and only the tiles over the fault came up. Thermal imaging, tracer gas and dye testing cover the rest of the house in the usual way.
Parking is easy outside the High Street. The report includes borescope stills, readings and photographs for a trace and access claim.
Leaks we have traced here
What we detect in Thame
Water leak detection
Hidden leaks behind walls, under floors and in ceilings, pinpointed with thermal, acoustic and tracer gas kit before anything is opened up.
Water leaks
Tracer gas leak detection
A safe hydrogen and nitrogen mix is put into the drained pipe, rises through the floor or wall and is picked up by the detector directly above the leak.
Tracer gas
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
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
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 reportsFrom 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.
Leaks in Thame: questions answered
Do you cover the villages around Thame?
Yes. OX9 and the neighbouring parts of HP17, HP18 and OX39 including Long Crendon, Haddenham, Chinnor and Tetsworth.
What can a borescope see?
Pipes, joints, wet areas and the state of the void under a floor or behind a wall, through a hole a few centimetres wide. It lets us plan the repair before anything is opened.
How quickly can you get to Thame?
Usually within a couple of working days. Call and we will give you a date.
Can you work in a listed building?
Yes. Non-invasive detection suits listed buildings, and we agree any opening with you before it is made.
Suspect a leak in Thame?
Call now and we will tell you straight away whether it needs a same-day visit. Or send a photo of the stain, the meter or the boiler gauge on WhatsApp.
