Water Leak Investigations
Investigate stains, drips and hidden water damage from plumbing, bathrooms or terraces.
A ceiling stain or a damp wall can be caused by a pipe, a shower, a neighbour's terrace or failed external waterproofing. Before paying for repairs, it is worth understanding which. We investigate the evidence systematically to narrow down the likely source.
Common concerns
- Suspected plumbing leaks
- Roof terrace infiltration
- Bathroom and shower leaks
- Ceiling staining
- Wall moisture
- Hidden or recurring water damage
- External waterproofing problems
How we investigate
- 01Mapping the visible damage and how it has developed
- 02Checking water-using installations nearby and above
- 03Moisture measurements to trace the extent of wetting
- 04Thermal imaging to look for temperature patterns along possible routes
- 05Inspection of terraces, drains, joints and upstands where accessible
- 06Recommendations on further testing or targeted opening if required
Important limitations
Not every leak can be located precisely without invasive investigation. Water can travel a long way inside a building before it appears, and intermittent leaks may not be active on the day. We will be clear about what the evidence supports.
What you can expect
- An assessment of the most likely source or sources
- Documentation useful for neighbours, the community or insurers
- Advice on which trade or specialist should be involved
- No pressure to use any particular contractor
Frequently asked questions
Can you guarantee finding the leak?
No honest investigator can. We use a structured approach to narrow down the source and explain clearly if further testing is needed.
The stain is below my neighbour's terrace. Can you help?
Yes. Documented observations are often helpful when discussing responsibility with a neighbour or homeowners' community.
Do you carry out the repair?
No. We are independent and do not carry out repair work, but we can help coordinate with contractors if you wish.
