LEAK DETECTION
A Hidden Leak Can Cause Serious Damage — If You Don’t Act Fast
Leaks behind walls, under floors, or within roofs can go undetected for weeks. By the time you see the damage, it’s already affected plaster, flooring, joists, insulation — even your tenant’s health. We’re often called in when clients face:
Damp spots or stains with no clear source
Unexplained spikes in water bills or system pressure drops
Mould, odours, or condensation in odd locations
Failed moisture tests or drying efforts after water damage
Delays in insurance claims due to lack of leak confirmation
The need to trace leaks without unnecessary strip-out or guesswork
At Eighty Eight, our leak detection service includes:
Thermal imaging to locate temperature anomalies caused by escaping water
Acoustic detection for pinpointing pressurised pipe leaks
Moisture mapping using calibrated meters
Tracer dye and pressure testing if required

Optional follow-up for drying, mould removal, and reinstatement
