    Finding hidden water leaks without unnecessary damage

    A water leak can be tricky to spot sometimes, especially when you don’t know you have one. Damp patches, strange smells, higher water bills, or drops in boiler pressure might all be signs there’s a problem, but the visible clues aren’t always where the leak actually is.

    Hidden pipework, underground leaks and concealed water damage can often go unnoticed until they cause bigger problems.

    Track A Leak provides specialist residential and commercial water leak detection across Newport, Cardiff and South Wales. Instead of tearing up floors, walls, or fittings straight away, we focus on pinpointing the exact location of the leak first.

    With over 30 years of combined experience, our leak detection specialists use advanced non-invasive detection methods to accurately locate hidden leaks, pipe leaks and underground water issues without unnecessary disruption.

    We provide detailed reports where required, giving homeowners, businesses and insurers clear information about the cause and location of the problem.

    Our Water Leak Detection Services

    Residential Water Leak Detection

    Hidden leaks within your home can be difficult to locate and may cause damage long before visible signs appear.

    Our residential water leak detection service helps identify leaks behind walls, beneath floors, within bathrooms, heating systems and concealed pipework.

    Using non-invasive detection methods, we can help pinpoint the source of the problem so repairs can be carried out in the correct area.

    Pipe Leak Detection

    Leaking pipes are not always visible, as water can travel through walls, ceilings and flooring before creating noticeable damage.

    Our specialist pipe leak detection methods help locate leaks within internal and external pipe systems.

    By accurately identifying the affected area, we help reduce the need for unnecessary investigation work.

    Underground Water Leak Detection

    Underground leaks can be particularly challenging to locate as they may occur beneath gardens, driveways or external areas.

    Our underground water leak detection service uses specialist equipment to help trace the source of hidden leaks before excavation or repair work begins.

    Emergency Leak Detection

    A sudden leak can quickly lead to water damage if the source is not identified.

    Our emergency leak detection service helps homeowners and businesses locate urgent leaks as quickly as possible, providing clear guidance on the next steps required.
