How Our Coseley Trace and Access Service Works

Finding a leak beneath concrete, soil, or floorboards used to mean costly and disruptive digging. Today, our trace and access specialists use state-of-the-art equipment to pinpoint the exact location of the escaping water. Our systematic approach ensures minimal disruption to your property.Thermal Imaging: We use high-resolution thermal cameras to identify temperature variations caused by escaping hot water from central heating networks.Acoustic Leak Detection: Our highly sensitive ground microphones amplify the sound of pressurised water escaping from underground mains.Tracer Gas Systems: We introduce a safe, inert gas mix into the emptied pipework. As the gas escapes through the leak and rises to the surface, our sensors detect its exact exit point.Once the fault is pinpointed, our Dudley plumbing team will expose the pipe safely and carry out a permanent, reliable water leak repair.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our underground leak detection services in Wolverhampton & West Midlands

How do I know if I have an underground leak?

+

The most common signs include a damp patch on the ground during dry weather, a noticeable drop in water pressure, or the sound of running water when all taps are turned off. If you have a water meter, turn off all appliances and check the dial. If it is still moving, you almost certainly have a leak.

Will you have to dig up my whole floor?

+

No. The whole point of our "trace and access" service is to avoid that. We use technology to find the exact spot. Usually, we only need to remove one or two floor tiles or a small section of floorboard to reach the pipe and fix it.

Is underground leak detection covered by my insurance?

+

Many buildings insurance policies include "Trace and Access" cover. This pays for the cost of finding the leak and getting to it. We recommend checking your policy documents or calling your provider. We can provide the technical reports they usually require.

Can you find leaks under concrete driveways?

+

Yes. Our acoustic equipment and tracer gas methods are specifically designed to find leaks through thick surfaces like concrete, tarmac, and paving slabs.
