We understand the stress of having a water leak but not knowing exactly where it is.
Our leak detection specialists use noninvasive methods. They can pinpoint the location of a leak without causing damage, which is why most insurers require it when processing an “escape of water” claim.
This video shows how a range of non-invasive methods are used to detect a hidden leak causing damage to a ceiling.
Several techniques are usually used during a detailed investigation.
Our experts are available to find any type of hard to find leak.
We can pinpoint a leak, no matter how small, anywhere in a property. The trace and access methods we use include:
Our GasSafe registered experts will firstly check for boiler issues and leaks on exposed parts of a central heating system.
If a leak on concealed parts of the system is diagnosed, acoustic tests and tracer gas are some of the non-invasive techniques used.
Once detected, a leak is exposed for repairs to be made.
Pressure tests are done to identify the presence of leaks in a mains water supply pipe.
Leaks can be located using acoustic tests and tracer gas, even if the pipes are buried deep beneath concrete slabs.
Leaks are exposed without the expense of digging long trenches.
Our downstairs neighbour reported that she had water coming in her ceiling, presumably from our flat. We called Aspect & they sent Ahmed. He came within hours & worked forensically to identify the source quickly & logically. He could not have been more efficient or more charming. Considering it was an emergency, the bill was far less than we feared. I’ve since recommended Aspect to neighbours.

We had a hidden leak on our central heating system. Nabeel from Aspect was booked to carry out a detailed check of the entire system. He attended and did a gas trace test. An in-depth investigation was carried out and located an area of concern from the findings. Quick turn around, problem solved and highly recommend!

As always excellent service from Aspect! Darren was incredibly patient, efficient and did an excellent job! I can highly recommend both him and Aspect!

We had a very good experience with Aspect. Our boiler was losing pressure. They had an expert out the next morning who arrived at 8am. By 4.30pm they had located a leak under the floor, fixed it and the room was tidy and warm. It was complicated needing gas run through the system. I had a query after and the technician was really helpful.

Luke couldn’t have been any better. He was very friendly and clearly knowledgable. He arrived on time, diagnosed the problem and the cause. I’d been particularly concerned about this so it was reassuring to have him carry out the leak investigation. I’ll definitely be using you again for anything like this in the future.

Incredible service, professional, polite and hard working. Luke is a star and managed to find my leak in the theatre that other companies couldn’t!! I can not recommend them enough, Luke and his team were amazing I have already got them booked in at another of our venues!!

Darren started on time at 8am after booking it the previous day. He listened and understood all the various issues, and proceeded to work through each one thoroughly to trace the leak. He was clearly an expert in his field, and stayed until all the issues were fixed. I really couldn't have asked for more.

Aspect arranged the job on the same day as I requested. Ahmed was great. He traced the leak and identified the problem, explaining what he was doing throughout. He found a solution and was able to carry out the repairs without any major disruption.

If you suspect a leak in your central heating or plumbing system, don’t ignore it. Fixing the problem is usually covered by an insurance policy.
Water escaping inside a property could be causing bigger problems than any visible signs might suggest. Water damage can eventually compromise the structural integrity of a property if left unresolved. Failing to act quickly might mean your insurance company rejects your claim.
