Step 1: Pinpoint Accuracy

Advanced Technology Locates the Source

Using state-of-the-art acoustic and trace gas equipment, we pinpoint the exact location of the leak. This precision eliminates guesswork and unnecessary damage to your property.

Our specialist uses advanced acoustic detection equipment to listen for the telltale sounds of water escaping from pressurised pipes. We find it first time, every time.

Step 2: Internal Camera Evidence

Precision Location & Depth

Our advanced CCTV camera head can be precisely located from the surface with centimetre accuracy, including exact depth measurement. This ensures we know exactly where to dig before breaking ground.

Internal camera inspection at 4.39m depth reveals the crack in the pipe — documented evidence for insurance claims. Location accuracy: centimetre precision

Step 3: Minimal Excavation

Single Tile Lift Demonstrates Surgical Precision

Our targeted approach means lifting just one tile to access the leak. This minimal disruption method protects your property and speeds up the entire process.

Only what's necessary: a single tile lift provides access to the damaged pipe section below. Minimal disruption — only what's necessary

---

Step 4: Expose the Leak

Careful Excavation Reveals the Problem

Once the exact location is confirmed, we carefully excavate to expose the damaged pipe. The controlled approach ensures we can assess and repair the issue efficiently.

Water actively flowing from the exposed pipe — visual confirmation of the leak we detected from the surface. Controlled access to the damaged section

Step 5: Leak Confirmed

Status: Active Leak Identified

The leak is exposed and actively flowing, confirming our detection was accurate. This documentation is critical for insurance claims.

Video evidence of the active leak — essential documentation for your insurance submission. Visual evidence supports insurance claim submission ---

Step 6: Professional Repair

Qualified Plumber Completes the Repair

A qualified plumber repairs the damaged pipe section to industry standards. Professional repair ensures the fix is permanent and meets all regulatory requirements.

New pipe sections and fittings installed to industry standards — a permanent solution. Qualified repair meets insurance and regulatory standards

Step 7: Complete Reinstatement

Property Restored to Original Condition

The area is fully reinstated with tiles replaced and grouting completed. You wouldn't know we were there.
