Leak Detection Kentish Town
Hidden water leaks in Kentish Town pinpointed without opening floors or walls — acoustic, thermal imaging and tracer gas detection with no find, no fee, from engineers who know Kentish Town buildings.
Local knowledge
Kentish Town housing, from a leak engineer's side
Kentish Town features rows of Victorian and Georgian terraces, many with rear extensions and loft conversions that have altered original plumbing layouts. Pipework often runs under suspended timber floors and through party walls. The area's mix of long-term residents and new builds means we encounter both historic lead pipes and modern installations.

What fails here
Common leak problems in Kentish Town
01
Leaks Under Suspended Floors
Traditional timber floors in terraced houses hide pipe runs. A leak here can rot joists and spread damp. We use thermal imaging to see temperature changes from the leak without pulling up floors.
02
Loft Conversion Pipework Failures
Added bathrooms in loft spaces put strain on old rising mains. Frozen or faulty pipes in the cold roof space are a common cause of sudden ceiling leaks. We trace the new pipework back to the fault.
03
Shared Drainage Blockages
Many terraces share Victorian-era drainage runs. A blockage in one property can cause backups in neighbours. We use CCTV drain surveys to locate the obstruction and prevent internal flooding.
04
Lead Pipe Replacement Leaks
As old lead supply pipes are replaced, new connections can fail or disturb adjacent old pipework. We respond to new leaks post-works, identifying the precise joint or section that has failed.
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.
