A damp ceiling in Oxford, a suspected heating leak in Bicester or a drainage issue in Witney can each require a different survey approach. 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. Older interiors, altered plumbing and solid floors can make leak tracing more involved; tests are selected for the particular system and construction. 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. An accessible drain survey can help identify defects or uncertain routes before repair work begins.
Flat roof leak detection
Water appearing beneath a flat roof does not always enter directly above the visible stain. Water can track beneath a roof covering before reaching the visible stain; both the roof and internal evidence are considered.
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. Likely pipe routes can be checked ahead of opening an existing floor or planning a new bathroom or heating layout. 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. Moisture remaining in plaster, timber and floor build-ups may need assessment once the water source is controlled.
Areas across Oxfordshire
Enquiries are welcome from Oxford, Banbury, Bicester, Abingdon, Witney, Didcot, Wallingford, Thame, Henley-on-Thames and nearby villages. Send us the property postcode so we can confirm coverage and availability for your address.
Oxford city centre and the areas around Oxfordshire County Council buildings, Banbury and Abingdon are geographic references rather than customer examples. 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.
