Leak Detection for Insurance Assessment

Issue:

Leak detection requiring accurate diagnosis, clear reporting, and fast action.

We regularly carry out leak detection and plumbing investigations on behalf of insurance companies, helping to pinpoint the source of water damage and determine the appropriate repair path. In a recent case, we were called to a property experiencing persistent water damage to internal cabinetry.

Scope of work:

• Isolated and tested multiple fixtures including the kitchen tap, dishwasher, and flex connections.
• Used visual inspection and moisture readings to track active leaks and signs of previous water damage.
• Found evidence of long-term slow leaks from plumbing fixtures.
• Provided detailed documentation, photographic evidence, and a clear written report for the insurer.

Outcome:

Our assessment allowed the insurance provider to make an informed decision, and the homeowner received a clear pathway forward with repairs. By locating the source quickly and accurately, we helped avoid further damage and supported a faster claim resolution.
