Reliable Leak Detection for Devon Businesses
A water leak in a commercial building rarely waits for a convenient moment. Whether it is a damp patch spreading across an office ceiling, an unexplained spike in a hotel’s water bill, or rising damp in a care home corridor, the longer it goes undiagnosed the greater the disruption and cost. Our commercial leak detection service is built around finding the source quickly and accurately, so you can keep your premises running.
We work across offices, retail units, hotels, care homes, schools and managed or let premises throughout Devon, with light coverage into neighbouring Cornwall where it suits a client. Using a combination of non-destructive techniques, we locate hidden leaks behind walls, beneath floors and within service voids before anything is opened up. That means less mess, fewer unnecessary repairs and a precise report you can act on or pass to an insurer.
Common signs that a commercial property may have a hidden leak include the following:
- Unexplained increases in water charges or metered usage
- Damp patches, staining or peeling paint on walls and ceilings
- A musty smell or persistent condensation in occupied spaces
- Warm or cold patches on floors from heating or supply pipework
- A boiler or pressurised system that loses pressure repeatedly
How We Find Commercial Leaks
Acoustic Detection
Highly sensitive acoustic equipment listens for the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipework. It is ideal for tracing supply leaks under solid floors and within walls in occupied commercial spaces, with no disruption to your operation.
Thermal Imaging
Thermal cameras reveal temperature differences caused by escaping water and heating leaks across large surfaces. This lets us survey expansive areas such as office floors, retail units and hotel corridors quickly and without contact.
Tracer Gas
A safe tracer gas is introduced into the pipework and rises to the surface at the point of escape, where it is picked up by our detectors. It is highly effective for pinpointing small or intermittent leaks that other methods can miss.
