What fails here
Common leak problems in Mayfair
01
Leaks in Luxury Bathroom Fittings
Complex, bespoke bathroom installations with multiple water features are prone to fitting failures and concealed leaks. We use thermal imaging and acoustic detection to locate issues without damaging finishes. Our report details the specific failed component, supporting claims for high-value replacements.
02
Servant Quarter Pipework Neglect
In larger lateral apartments, original plumbing serving staff areas is often overlooked during upgrades, leading to decay. We map the entire system to identify these weak points. Documenting this pre-existing condition is essential for insurers to understand the risk profile of the property.
03
Leak Damage to High-Value Contents
Even a small leak can threaten valuable interiors, art, or antiques. Our trace and access process is designed to be minimally invasive to prevent further damage. We provide a comprehensive cause-and-effect report linking the plumbing fault to any damage, which is required for high-value content claims.
04
Corporate-Occupied Building Coordination
Leaks in buildings occupied by corporate tenants or embassies require strict access protocols and reporting chains. We coordinate with facilities managers and provide documentation formatted for corporate risk departments. This ensures insurers receive the structured evidence needed for large commercial residential policies.
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.
