Why Choose JSL Plumbing for Leak Detection?

Advanced Technology for Accurate Detection

We utilise the latest in leak detection technology to identify even the most elusive leaks. Our state-of-the-art equipment includes:

  • Gas Tracing: Using a safe hydrogen/nitrogen gas mix, we can detect leaks as the gas escapes through the smallest cracks and materials, including concrete and timber. A sensitive probe pinpoints the exact location of the leak.
  • Thermal Imaging Cameras: These cameras are perfect for mapping hidden hot water and central heating pipes within walls and under floors, allowing us to detect temperature variations caused by leaks.
  • Acoustic Microphones: By amplifying the sound of escaping water, these microphones help us locate leaks with precision.
  • Endoscopic Cameras: Also known as borescopes, these cameras allow us to inspect concealed and hard-to-reach areas.
  • Moisture Meters: Our Protimeter moisture meters are instrumental in detecting hidden damp areas caused by leaks.
  • UV and Coloured Dye Testing: Ideal for identifying leaks in drains and waste systems.
  • Pressure Testing: A reliable method to identify leaking pipes by monitoring pressure levels.
  • CAT & Genny: These tools are used to locate and map hidden underground pipes.
  • Consumption Testing: This technique measures unexpected water usage when all taps and outlets are off.
  • Wet and Air Testing: We perform comprehensive testing of waste and drain systems to detect any issues.

End-to-End Service

Our engineers are equipped to find and fix leaks on the same day. Whether it involves removing floor finishes or excavating concrete to access the problem area, we ensure minimal disruption to your property. Once the repair is complete, we re-test the system to confirm that all leaks have been resolved, preventing future issues.

Experienced and Certified Engineers

All our engineers are highly trained and qualified plumbers with extensive experience in leak detection. Unlike many other companies, we employ all our staff directly, so you never have to worry about unknown subcontractors entering your home.

We’re confident in our ability to detect leaks, which is why we offer a ‘no find – no fee’ guarantee for internal hot and cold pipe leaks. Please note that this guarantee excludes heating and incoming mains leaks, and terms and conditions apply.

Insurance Assistance

In most cases, the cost of leak detection can be recovered through your building insurance under ‘trace and access’ or ‘track and trace’ provisions. To make the process as smooth as possible, we provide a detailed written report with photographs and an itemised invoice within 48 hours of completing our service. This documentation is designed to support your insurance claim efficiently.
