A falling boiler pressure in Watford, a damp floor in St Albans or water ingress at a Stevenage commercial building each points to a different investigation. 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. A combination of moisture mapping, thermal checks and other suitable tests can help narrow a concealed pipe leak before access is agreed. 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 may help establish the condition of accessible drains when symptoms keep returning or the layout is unclear.
Flat roof leak detection
Water appearing beneath a flat roof does not always enter directly above the visible stain. On an extension or larger building, tracing the rainwater path helps identify likely defects beyond the first visible ceiling mark.
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. Pipe route investigations can help plan refurbishment or targeted access to a suspected leaking section. 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. A survey of affected materials can guide drying after the leak source is stopped and the building is made safe.
Areas across Hertfordshire
Enquiries are welcome from Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, Hitchin, Hertford, Welwyn Garden City, Bishop's Stortford, Hatfield and nearby communities. Send us the property postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability for your address.
The areas around St Albans city centre, Watford town centre and Hertford town centre identify places within the wider enquiry area. 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.
