Leak Detection Alexandra Palace | Fast Hidden Leak Specialists

We use advanced non-invasive methods such as thermal imaging, acoustic listening equipment, and moisture meters. These tools allow us to pinpoint the exact location of a hidden leak behind walls, under floors, or underground with minimal disruption, avoiding unnecessary destructive investigation.

Our leak detection services in Alexandra Palace come with fixed callout fees, ensuring transparent pricing. The final cost can depend on the complexity and location of the leak, as well as the specific equipment required. We offer free, no-obligation quotes over the phone to give you an accurate estimate.

Yes, absolutely. We provide a complete end-to-end service. Once the leak is accurately detected, our skilled engineers can discuss the best repair options with you and carry out the necessary work, often on the same day, to resolve the issue fully.

The time taken for leak detection can vary. Simple, easily accessible leaks might be found within an hour, while complex hidden leaks, especially those underground or within heating systems, could take several hours. We always work efficiently to minimise disruption.

Our arsenal includes cutting-edge thermal imaging cameras, highly sensitive acoustic listening devices, digital moisture meters, endoscopes for cavity inspection, and pressure testing equipment. For some difficult leaks, we may also use tracer gas detection.

Yes, we specialise in identifying leaks within central heating systems, which often manifest as a constant drop in boiler pressure. Using thermal imaging and pressure testing, we can precisely locate these leaks in pipes, radiators, or boiler components.

Absolutely. Underground leaks, whether in your garden, driveway, or main supply line, are a common specialisation. We use acoustic ground microphones and, if necessary, tracer gas technology to accurately locate these buried leaks with minimal excavation.

Leaks under concrete slabs are challenging but not impossible for our experts. We employ acoustic detection, listening for the distinct sound of water through the concrete, and sometimes thermal imaging for hot water lines, to precisely mark the spot for targeted, minimal excavation.

Yes, mould growth is a strong indicator of a hidden moisture source. Our technicians are skilled in moisture mapping and damp investigation, tracing the moisture patterns back to the originating leak, even if it's concealed, allowing for proper remediation.

Yes, we provide 24/7 emergency leak detection services in Alexandra Palace. We understand the urgency of active leaks and aim to respond quickly to prevent further property damage and mitigate risks like mould growth. Call us anytime for immediate assistance.

Yes, upon request, we can provide detailed reports of our leak detection findings, including photographic evidence and descriptions of the leak's location and cause. This documentation can be invaluable for supporting your insurance claim.

While our primary focus is on internal plumbing and heating system leaks, we can investigate water ingress issues that may appear to be from the roof or gutters, especially if the internal manifestation points to a plumbing-related cause. For direct roof structure issues, we may recommend a roofing specialist.

Yes, we have extensive experience providing commercial leak detection services for various businesses, including shops, offices, restaurants, and managed properties in Alexandra Palace. We understand the importance of minimal disruption to your operations.

Indeed. Leaks in central heating systems are one of our specialities. We use thermal imaging to identify heat loss patterns, pressure testing to confirm integrity, and acoustic listening to pinpoint the exact location of the leak within your pipework or radiators.

Yes, thermal imaging is a key tool in our non-invasive leak detection toolkit. It allows us to visualise temperature differences caused by water leaks, making it incredibly effective for locating hot or cold water pipes behind surfaces without causing damage.

Yes, we operate with a fixed callout charge for our leak detection services. This covers the engineer's travel to your Alexandra Palace property and the initial assessment and diagnostic work. Any subsequent repair costs will be quoted transparently.

Absolutely. Dripping water from a ceiling is a clear sign of a serious leak. Our emergency response team can quickly attend your Alexandra Palace property, identify the source of the ceiling leak (often from an upstairs bathroom or pipework), and take steps to mitigate further damage.

Yes, all our engineers are highly trained, fully certified, and extensively experienced in advanced leak detection techniques. For your complete peace of mind, 24-7 Ready Plumbing is also fully insured for all work undertaken.
