Leak Locator

Belfast and Northern Irelands Specialist Leak Detection Company
With our offices near Belfast in Northern Ireland, we are Belfast and Northern Irelands specialist leak detection company.

Plumbing leaks can be elusive and destructive and it takes a blend of expertise and quality equipment to detect hidden leaks. We use the most technologically advanced non-invasive methods to accurately locate hidden water, sewer and gas leaks. If water is finding a way to get out, we will certainly find way to get in and identify the problem. With our latest technology we can find every type of concealed leak in your home or business.

Leak Locator provides a technical service that insurance companies refer to as ‘trace and access’. Most customers have this cover making our service refundable.

Symptoms of Water leakage:

• Heating system losing pressure
• Sounds of water running when nothing turned on
• Staining on ceiling
• Heating system requires frequent bleeding
• Floor rising from underfloor leak
• Damp patches occurring on floors and walls
• Mildew and mould
• Tiles becoming boast, grout changing colour, warped panelling

How We Do It
There is no single ‘water leak detector’ a number of methods are used to accurately find a water leak and each depends on the type of leak and/or property. These are non-invasive techniques and do not cause any damage to your property.

• Thermal Imaging
  Thermal Imaging Camera to possibly identify pipe locations buried within the building structure i.e. walls, concrete, cavities etc. These cameras are non-invasive and show differences in the surface temperature allowing us to identify where the under floor heating leak is coming from with minimal disruption to you and your property.


• Acoustic Leak Detection
  Acoustic leak detection, finds a leak using ultra sensitive microphones, which ‘listen’ for leak sounds that are generated through the damaged pipe work. Our software can differentiate between leak generated sounds and background sound contamination.


• Tracer Gas
  Trace Gas is non-toxic and does not harm any pipe work or the environment and is used to detect leaks on all pipework, including under floor heating systems. This specialist gas is pressurised through the pipes and makes its way to the surface, where it escapes allowing us to detect your leak with our gas detector. This allows us to locate your leak to a specific area, even under concrete; we use this method on heating systems for its accuracy.
