Leak Detection Fulham
Hidden water leaks in Fulham pinpointed without opening floors or walls — acoustic, thermal imaging and tracer gas detection with no find, no fee, from engineers who know Fulham buildings.
Local knowledge
Fulham housing, from a leak engineer's side
Fulham is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many with rear extensions and loft conversions that complicate original plumbing layouts. Shared drainage runs between these tightly packed homes are common. Mansion blocks on main roads add vertical challenges. Older stop taps are often buried or seized, slowing initial isolation.

What fails here
Common leak problems in Fulham
01
Leaks in Side-Return Extensions
Single-storey kitchen extensions often have water feeds and waste pipes buried in shallow floors. Frost damage or ground movement cracks these pipes, causing leaks under the new floor. We pinpoint the breach with minimal digging.
02
Shared Drain Blockages
Blocked shared drains between terraces cause backups into multiple ground-floor bathrooms. We quickly camera-survey the drain to identify the blockage location and which property is responsible.
03
Loft Conversion Pipe Freezes
Pipes routed into cold loft spaces for new ensuite bathrooms are prone to freezing and bursting. The leak often appears first as a stain on a top-floor ceiling. We trace the pipe run in the loft to find the split.
04
Seized External Stop Taps
Many terraces have the main stop tap in a front garden path box, now rusted shut. If you can't turn off the water, we can fit an emergency internal valve to isolate the supply so repairs can start.
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.

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 Fulham properties?
Yes — Fulham is dominated by Victorian and Edwardian terraced houses, many with rear extensions and loft conversions that complicate original plumbing layouts. Shared drainage runs between these tightly packed homes are common. Mansion blocks on main roads add vertical challenges. Older stop taps are often buried or seized, slowing initial isolation.
