Leak Detection in Hampstead

Finding leaks in Hampstead homes

Hampstead is known for its period houses, large Victorian villas and handsome mansion blocks, many with original plasterwork, panelling and floors that owners understandably want to keep intact. When a leak appears in a property like this, the cost of guessing and opening up the wrong place can be high.

That is where thermal imaging, moisture mapping and tracer gas are most useful. They let us narrow a leak down to a small area before anyone touches a wall or floor, so any repair is targeted rather than exploratory.

Larger properties also tend to have long, complicated runs of pipework, multiple bathrooms and basement or lower-ground-floor rooms where water can collect unnoticed. We regularly investigate damp in basements and lower floors to establish whether it is a plumbing leak, water coming from outside, or something else.

Problems we commonly investigate in Hampstead

• Leaks in period properties where original features need protecting
• Basement and lower-ground-floor damp
• Long pipe runs across several bathrooms
• Heating leaks under timber or stone floors

What we offer

• Water Mains & Central Heating Leaks: Detecting hidden leaks in underground water mains, central heating systems, and pipework before they cause further damage.
• Internal & External Leak Detection: From leaks hidden in your walls to pipework buried underground, we locate the exact source so repairs can be targeted and precise.
• Damp & Wet Patch Investigation: Not sure if it's a leak, rising damp, condensation, or humidity? We identify the true cause, so you're not paying to fix the wrong problem.
• Leak Repairs: Where a repair is needed, we only excavate exactly where the problem is, no unnecessary disruption.

We use thermal imaging, tracer gas, moisture mapping, pressure testing, dye testing and salt analysis, choosing the method that suits your property. See how our methods work.
