Expert Drain Leak Detection
Across Emsworth & Hayling Island, Havant , Portsmouth & Hampshire
Specialist non-invasive odour and leak tracing for homes and businesses.

Finding a leak under floorboards or behind walls used to mean pulling up flooring or excavating driveways. Thankfully, our highly trained technicians use advanced, non-invasive diagnostic equipment to locate faults quickly and cleanly.Initial Assessment: We check your gullies, interceptors, and internal U-bends to rule out simple surface faults.CCTV Drain Surveys: Using waterproof, high-tech cameras, we visually inspect your pipework from the inside. This helps us spot cracks, root ingress, or displaced joints. Discover more about this technology on our CCTV drain surveys page.Trace and Access: Once we locate the precise point of failure, we expose it with minimal disruption. We can even provide insurance-approved reports to help with your claim.

Water escaping from a cracked underground pipe or a blocked soakaway does not just vanish. Over time, structural ingress can lead to rising damp, blown plaster, and even subsidence caused by ground movement.By proactively identifying the source of a leak, you protect your property's foundations and avoid incredibly expensive structural fixes. Identifying a leak early also stops raw effluent from contaminating the soil beneath your garden, keeping your environment safe and hygienic. If we find a broken pipe during our investigation, we can often fix it using modern no-dig patch repairs. Read more about how we fix broken pipes seamlessly on our drain repairs page.
