What is moisture leak detection?
Moisture leak detection is a specialist service designed to locate hidden leaks within your property that may not be immediately visible. The process involves systematically identifying, detecting, and confirming leaks that are often concealed behind walls, beneath floors, or within ceilings. If not detected early, these leaks can cause serious structural problems, encourage mould growth, and result in higher repair bills over time.
At Hamblin Watermains, we use advanced equipment and proven techniques to identify the precise location of the issue without unnecessary excavation. Our methods include thermal imaging, acoustic leak detection, and trace and access leak detection, which allow us to achieve accurate results in detecting leaks. This non-invasive approach not only saves time but also ensures minimal disruption to your property. By acting quickly, moisture leak detection prevents minor leaks from escalating into major problems, keeping your residential property or business safe and secure.
Our thorough investigation process ensures every potential source is examined, and after leaks are detected, we provide a detailed report outlining our findings and recommendations.
Common signs you may need moisture leak detection
Hidden leaks can be tricky to identify, but recognising the first sign of a problem is crucial. There are common signs that may indicate something is wrong with your plumbing. If you spot any of the following, it’s a strong indicator that professional moisture leak detection is needed:
- Damp patches or water stains on ceilings, walls, or floors that seem to appear without explanation – these are often the first sign of a hidden leak.
- Musty odours in rooms or cupboards, which may point to mould growth caused by hidden moisture.
- Sudden rises in water bills, suggesting water is escaping from the system.
- Peeling wallpaper, bubbling paint, or warped flooring, often caused by trapped moisture.
- Low water pressure or losing pressure, which can indicate water is escaping somewhere in the system.
- Persistent condensation forming in unusual places around your home or workplace.
- Unusual readings on your water meter or unexpected water flow when no taps are running, which can be a sign of hidden leaks in pipes.
If these issues sound familiar, it’s important not to ignore any sign of trouble. Moisture leaks rarely fix themselves, and delaying professional detection could lead to much bigger problems down the line.
