We understand the stress of having an underground water leak and high water bills. Our leak detection specialists use non-invasive methods to find underground leaks.
The trace and access approach can pinpoint the location of a leak in pipes buried deep underground without needing to dig. It’s why it’s required by most insurers when processing an “escape of water” or “trace and access” claim.
Highly targeted excavation can then be carried out to fix the leak.
Leaks that are buried beneath solid surfaces, such as concrete, are often referred to as “slab leaks” or “concrete slab leaks“. Our leak detection specialists are equipped to pinpoint the location of every type of underground leak, slab leak, or underfloor leak.
This video shows some of the techniques used to find a leak buried beneath a concrete slab floor.
Several techniques are usually used during a thorough investigation.
Once found and exposed, our experts can make repairs and quote for any reinstatement work needed.

After consulting surveyors who diagnosed rising damp and then shelling out for an expensive damp course, problems with a damp floor in my kitchen persisted. I called in Aspect and their operative quickly showed the water was pipe water not ground water and therefore the problem was not and had never been rising damp. He performed several other thorough tests, found the exact point of the leak before fixing it and reinstating the floor.

Carl was fantastic. He was skilled and professional. He found the leak in the central heating pipe underneath the concrete floor, exposed the pipework and repaired it. He took the trouble to cause as little damage as possible and left the whole area clean and tidy. I highly recommend Carl and Aspect.

We have a serious problem with damp in the property, and asked Aspect to investigate the cause. Michael was the man who came to do the job, and we are more than happy with what he's done for us. He's experienced and knowledgeable and has been extremely efficient and helpful throughout. We would have no hesitation in recommending Aspect as a company, and Michael personally.

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.
