Leak Detection Feltham
Hidden water leaks in Feltham pinpointed without opening floors or walls — acoustic, thermal imaging and tracer gas detection with no find, no fee, from engineers who know Feltham buildings.
Local knowledge
Feltham housing, from a leak engineer's side
Feltham's housing is largely comprised of 1930s-1980s semi-detached and terraced homes, along with several large post-war and modern housing estates. Properties often feature concrete ground floors, older combi-boiler installations, and mixed material pipework. Leaks under solid floors or in loft-space plumbing are common challenges. The scale of some estates means we encounter repetitive construction details, allowing for efficient diagnosis of known weak points.
Engineer's note
We provide clear, photographic evidence of leaks in Feltham's solid-floor constructions and estate properties, giving insurers the certainty they need to approve trace and access and subsequent repairs.

What fails here
Common leak problems in Feltham
01
Leaks Under Concrete Floors
Copper pipes buried in the concrete slabs of post-war homes corrode, causing leaks that saturate the sub-base. Locating the leak without unnecessary floor breaking is key. We use electronic pipe locators and correlation technology to identify the exact breach, minimising reinstatement costs for the insurer.
02
Failing Push-Fit Plumbing
DIY and professional installations from the 80s/90s used plastic push-fit fittings that can fail with temperature cycles. These leaks often occur inside stud walls or under baths. We identify the fitting type and failure mode, information that helps insurers assess liability and coverage.
03
Loft-Condensate Pipe Leaks
Condensate pipes from boilers installed in lofts can freeze, disconnect, or leak, causing ceiling damage. We trace the pipe run and test for leaks, distinguishing this from a roof leak for insurance purposes.
04
Estate-Wide Plumbing Issues
Large estates built in the same era share common plumbing layouts and materials prone to simultaneous failure. Our familiarity with these patterns allows for rapid diagnosis, and we document the widespread issue to support multiple claims from an insurer.
Three methods, one marked point
Acoustic survey
Ground microphones and correlators follow the sound of escaping water through floors and ground.
Thermal imaging
Infrared cameras reveal wet patches and buried heating runs through the floor surface.
Tracer gas
A safe hydrogen mix escapes through the exact failure point and rises to our surface detector.
Leak detection in Feltham — FAQs
How quickly can you attend a leak in Feltham?
Same-day appointments are usually available in Feltham and across Hounslow, and next-day almost always. If water is actively escaping, say so when you book — live leaks are prioritised and we can talk you through isolating the supply while the engineer travels.
What does leak detection cost in Feltham?
A fixed fee agreed at booking — typically £250–£450 for a domestic detection visit — covered by no find, no fee. That includes pressure testing per circuit, thermal imaging, acoustic survey and moisture mapping. Repairs are quoted separately before any work starts.
Do you know Feltham properties?
Yes — Feltham's housing is largely comprised of 1930s-1980s semi-detached and terraced homes, along with several large post-war and modern housing estates. Properties often feature concrete ground floors, older combi-boiler installations, and mixed material pipework. Leaks under solid floors or in loft-space plumbing are common challenges. The scale of some estates means we encounter repetitive construction details, allowing for efficient diagnosis of known weak points.
Can you provide a report for my insurer?
Every Feltham detection visit can produce an insurer-ready trace and access report — cause, precise origin, methods used, moisture map and photos — typically within 48 hours.
