Common Questions - Leak Detection in Canterbury

Do you guarantee you will find my leak?

No leak detection company can guarantee locating every leak. Though, we deliver a No leak-No charge service for water mains leaks on individual properties where the supply lines are less than 30 metres long and losing more than 30 L per hour.

Will leak detection damage my property?

No. Our non invasive leak detection methods do not damage your property. On occasion, we may need to drill a minimal 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. Irrespective of the leak's location, minor damage may be essential to access and repair it.

Will you switch off the water while leak detection?

We most often don't need to turn off your water supply during leak investigations. Nevertheless, we may need to close the stopcock for a short time when completing repairs.

How long does it take ?

Leak detection normally takes between a few hours up to a full day or beyond. The time taken to discover the leak source depends on the leak type, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Will you fix my leak?

Yes. We can repair plumbing leaks on the same day as detection, if our engineer has available time after identifying the leak. Repair charges apply as an extra.

Can you assist with my insurance claim?

Yes. We offer insurance-approved reports for insurance claim purposes. If your home insurance contains "Trace and Access" protection, you can recover the leak detection costs.
