Leak Hunters can discuss investigations for Cambridge homes and businesses, the market towns of Huntingdonshire, and communities across East Cambridgeshire and Fenland. Tell us what you have noticed and where the property is; we can discuss the appropriate investigation and availability for your address.

A damp wall in Cambridge, unexplained water loss in St Neots or a drainage concern in Ely can look similar at first but require different tests. We select investigative methods to suit the symptoms and property, then explain the findings and practical next steps.
Water leak detection and trace and access
For hidden leaks in supply pipes, heating systems, floors or walls, we can use moisture readings, acoustic equipment, thermal imaging and tracer gas as appropriate. In a property with mixed construction or altered pipework, several test methods may be needed to narrow down a concealed leak. Investigations can be trace only or include access where suitable. Explore our leak detection service.
Drain surveying
Persistent drainage problems, suspected defects or an unclear drain route may call for a survey. A survey can help clarify accessible drainage routes and defects before excavation or repair is arranged.
Flat roof leak detection
Water appearing beneath a flat roof does not always enter directly above the visible stain. Where water appears below an extension or commercial flat roof, the internal staining alone may not identify the entry point.
Pipework mapping
When the route of concealed water or heating pipework is uncertain, mapping can help identify likely pipe runs before drilling or opening a surface. Pipework tracing may be useful ahead of refurbishing a Cambridge property or altering heating runs elsewhere in the county. The achievable detail depends on the pipe material and construction.
Drying and restoration
After the source of a leak is addressed, affected materials may still hold moisture. An assessment after a leak can establish which floors and walls remain wet and what drying work may be appropriate.
Areas across Cambridgeshire
Enquiries are welcome from Cambridge, Ely, Huntingdon, St Neots, St Ives, Wisbech, March, Cambourne, Soham and nearby villages. Send us the property postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability for your address.
Cambridge city centre and the area around the Central Library, along with Ely and Huntingdon town centres, are location references only. These references do not imply work for or endorsement by any named venue or organisation.
Tell us about the problem
When you get in touch, include the property postcode, where the water or damp is visible, when it first appeared and whether a water or heating system is losing pressure. Photographs and details of any earlier tests can help us recommend the next step. If you plan to use trace and access insurance cover, check your policy terms with your insurer before work begins.
