A hidden water leak can lead to extensive damage, increased utility bills, and even serious structural issues if left untreated. Whether it's a dripping pipe behind the wall of a period flat in Kensington or an underground leak in a modern apartment block in Hackney, professional leak detection by certified plumbers is essential for identifying and fixing the issue quickly and safely.
Fraser Bond partners with qualified leak detection specialists across London to support landlords, tenants, and property owners in resolving water ingress and plumbing faults—before they become costly disasters.
Leak detection is the process of locating hidden water leaks within a property’s plumbing system—whether behind walls, under floors, or within pipework embedded in concrete. It combines non-invasive technology and expert diagnostics to pinpoint the source of a leak without unnecessary damage.
Key technologies used by specialist plumbers include:
Acoustic listening devices for pinpointing internal leaks
Thermal imaging cameras to detect temperature changes caused by escaping water
Tracer gas testing for underground or inaccessible pipework
Moisture meters and infrared tools to identify damp penetration
Once identified, the affected area can be repaired with minimal disruption—protecting your property and restoring full water system performance.
Not all leaks are obvious. In fact, some of the most damaging leaks occur quietly over weeks or months. If you notice any of the following, it’s time to call a professional:
Unexplained increase in water bills
Damp patches on ceilings, walls, or floors
Peeling paint or bubbling plaster
Low water pressure or continuous running toilet
Mould or musty smells in rooms or cupboards
Sounds of dripping or running water with no visible source
Landlords in particular should act fast—tenancy agreements place legal responsibility on property owners to resolve leaks promptly and maintain safe, habitable conditions.
