Our primary focus is accurately locating and investigating leaks using specialised equipment and non-invasive testing methods. Minor plumbing repairs may be carried out where appropriate, however larger repair works can be completed by your preferred plumber or a recommended licensed contractor.
Adaptable Leak Detection combines extensive plumbing knowledge with advanced leak detection technology to accurately investigate hidden water and gas leaks. Our focus is on providing honest advice, detailed reporting and non-invasive testing methods to minimise unnecessary damage and help you make informed repair decisions.
Yes, we provide detailed leak detection reports outlining findings, testing methods and recommended next steps where required.
No. Acoustic leak detection is a non-invasive testing method that does not require digging or damaging your property during the investigation. If excavation is required for repairs, we aim to pinpoint the leak location first to minimise disruption and property damage.
Acoustic leak detection is a highly accurate method for locating hidden and underground water leaks. Using specialised equipment and proven testing techniques, we can significantly narrow down the leak location to a 1m x 1m square before any excavation is required.
Acoustic leak detection is recommended when there are signs of a hidden water leak, such as an unusually high water bill, reduced water pressure, damp areas or the sound of running water. It is particularly effective for locating leaks in underground water mains and concealed pipework.
Most internal leak investigations begin with an initial one-hour consultation, and in many cases the cause of the leak can be identified during this visit. More complex investigations may require additional time, specialised testing methods and advanced equipment. While these investigations can sometimes cost more than the repair itself, accurately identifying the cause of a leak helps avoid unnecessary repairs, repeated call-outs and ongoing property damage.
Not during the investigation. Our internal leak detection service uses a range of non-invasive testing methods to locate the source of a leak while minimising unnecessary damage. If access is required to carry out repairs, we aim to pinpoint the leak location first so only the affected area needs to be opened.
Yes. Hidden leaks can often occur behind walls, beneath floors, within ceilings or under waterproofing membranes without any obvious signs. Using specialised testing methods and equipment, we can investigate and accurately identify the source of many concealed leaks before they cause further damage.
Yes. Our roof inspections are designed to identify the likely source of water ingress by assessing roofing materials, flashings, penetrations, gutters and downpipes. Where required, specialised testing methods may be used to assist in confirming the cause of the leak.
Yes. Blocked or damaged gutters and downpipes can prevent rainwater from draining correctly, causing water to overflow and enter the roof cavity or internal areas of the property. Our inspections assess the condition and performance of the property's roof drainage system.
A moisture assessment is a non-invasive inspection used to identify elevated moisture levels within walls, ceilings, floors and other building materials. It is recommended where there are signs of water damage, dampness, mould, staining or unexplained odours, and can help determine the extent of moisture damage and narrow down the likely source of water intrusion. Where required, additional specialised testing may be used to confirm the exact cause of the leak.
A moisture assessment identifies areas affected by elevated moisture levels and can help narrow down the likely source of water intrusion. Where required, additional specialised testing methods may be recommended to accurately confirm the exact cause of the leak.
Plumbing Health Checks are ideal for homeowners, property investors, landlords and prospective buyers.
A Plumbing Health Check includes a visual inspection of your property's accessible plumbing systems, fixtures and fittings to identify leaks, signs of deterioration, potential defects and maintenance concerns. Where issues are identified, recommendations can be provided to help prevent future plumbing problems.
Yes. Following the inspection, we can provide a detailed report outlining our findings, supporting photographs where required and recommendations for any maintenance or repairs. This provides a clear record of the property's plumbing condition and can assist with future maintenance planning.
