Holborn housing, from a leak engineer's side

The dense urban environment means leaks can quickly affect adjacent businesses and require swift coordination.

What fails here
Common leak problems in Holborn
01
Commercial Premises Leak Tracing
Leaks in offices, restaurants, or basements used for storage can involve complex pipework for sanitation, kitchens, or fire systems. We work to isolate the business-critical supply and find the fault.
02
Concealed Leaks in Partition Walls
Office conversions often hide pipes in false walls and ceiling voids. A leak can damage electrical systems and IT infrastructure. We use acoustic probes to locate the leak without unnecessary demolition.
03
High-Rise Apartment Leak Isolation
In modern apartment blocks, a leak from one floor can quickly affect many units below. We identify the offending apartment's supply line and isolate it to contain the damage, fast.
04
Historic Drain Collapse
The area has some of London's oldest drains. A collapse can cause major blockages and groundwater ingress. Our CCTV surveys identify the collapse point to plan a targeted repair, preventing internal flooding.
Three methods, one marked point
Acoustic survey
Ground microphones and correlators follow the sound of escaping water through floors and ground.
Thermal imaging
Infrared cameras reveal wet patches and buried heating runs through the floor surface.
Tracer gas
A safe hydrogen mix escapes through the exact failure point and rises to our surface detector.

What does leak detection cost in Holborn?
A fixed fee agreed at booking — typically £250–£450 for a domestic detection visit — covered by no find, no fee. That includes pressure testing per circuit, thermal imaging, acoustic survey and moisture mapping. Repairs are quoted separately before any work starts.
Do you know Holborn properties?
