How Our Trace and Access Service Works

Our comprehensive trace and access service is specifically designed to find hidden water and gas leaks with pinpoint accuracy. Rather than dismantling your home blindly, our specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to expertly assess the affected areas and track the source of the issue.Thermal Imaging: We use highly sensitive infrared cameras to identify temperature variations behind walls and floors, making it exceptionally easy to spot leaking central heating pipes or hidden hot water escapes.Acoustic Sensors: Our advanced acoustic microphones allow us to listen for the precise frequency and sound of escaping water deep within your plumbing system.Moisture Mapping: We map the spread of dampness across building materials to track the water back to its exact point of origin.Once we successfully locate the leak, our team carefully and cleanly accesses the affected pipework, keeping property damage to an absolute minimum before we carry out the necessary repairs to rectify the issue entirely.

Outstanding 24/7 service!"

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our hidden leak detection and non-destructive water tracing services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

What is Trace and Access?

+

Trace and Access is a term used by insurance companies. It refers to the process of finding a hidden leak (the trace) and getting to it (the access). Most modern home insurance policies cover the cost of professional leak detection services like ours. We can provide the technical reports you might need to support your insurance claim.

Will you have to break my floor tiles to find the leak?

+

In almost all cases, no. Our thermal imaging and acoustic equipment allow us to "see" and "hear" through tiles, laminate, and concrete. We only need to remove floor coverings at the exact point where the repair needs to happen, rather than tearing up the whole room.

How do I know if my central heating is leaking?

+

The most common sign is having to top up your boiler pressure frequently. If your pressure gauge keeps dropping to zero every few days or weeks, the water is escaping somewhere. If there are no obvious drips from your radiators or valves, the leak is likely hidden under the floor.

Can thermal imaging find a leak in a cold water pipe?

+

Yes, but it works differently. While hot water leaks show up as a "hot spot," a cold water leak often shows up as a distinct temperature difference compared to the surrounding material. Our engineers are trained to interpret these infrared images to find the source accurately.
