Hidden Leak Detectionin Tonge Moor & Breightmet

Tracing Hidden Leaks in Tonge Moor & Breightmet

We use a combination of acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging cameras and pressure testing to locate the exact source of a leak — whether it's a buried supply pipe under a Tonge Moor & Breightmet driveway, a pinhole in concealed copperwork behind plasterboard, or a slow drip in a sealed unit beneath a tiled floor.

Once located we either carry out a direct repair or, where access is limited, recommend the most cost-effective option. We document the cause and the repair, which is what most home insurance trace-and-access claims require.

Many Tonge Moor & Breightmet insurance policies cover the cost of finding a leak ('trace and access') as well as the repair itself — we can talk you through the wording before we attend.

In Tonge Moor the typical leak is on imperial 1/2" copper pipework under floorboards where someone has tried a compression repair without proper olives — it slowly weeps until water shows on the ceiling below. In Breightmet semis it's almost always a buried central-heating pipe under a solid kitchen or hallway floor that has pinholed after sludge erosion. Thermal imaging picks the route, then tracer gas confirms the exact spot. We pinpoint without speculative excavation and provide a written report and thermal images for your insurer's trace-and-access cover.
