Question 1

How do you find a hidden leak without damage?

Accepted Answer

We combine thermal imaging, moisture mapping, tracer gas and acoustic detection to pinpoint the exact source — usually without cutting into walls or floors.

Question 2

Why has my boiler pressure dropped?

Accepted Answer

Losing pressure repeatedly means a leak in the central heating system. We trace it, isolate and repair.

Question 3

My ceiling is stained — is there still a leak?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes the leak has stopped, sometimes it's active. We test moisture levels first, then investigate above.

Question 4

How quickly can you attend?

Accepted Answer

For emergency water damage we aim to be on site within 24 hours across Hertfordshire and North London. Non-urgent surveys are usually booked within 3–5 working days.

Question 5

Do you provide free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Every job starts with a free, no-obligation estimate. We only quote after we've seen the property or clear photographs of the issue.

Question 6

Do you work with insurance companies?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We produce insurance-grade Trace & Access reports with thermal images, moisture maps and written findings — accepted by all major UK insurers.

Question 7

Who pays for Trace & Access?

Accepted Answer

Most home insurance policies cover Trace & Access costs — the investigation needed to find the leak, even if the leak itself is excluded. We invoice your insurer directly where possible.
