Leak Detection

Water leaks that are concealed behind walls, under floors, or underground are among the most damaging and frustrating problems a property owner can face. Left undetected, a hidden leak can cause extensive structural damage, promote mould growth, and result in very high water bills. Traditional leak detection often involved significant and destructive excavation. Galway Plumbing Services uses modern, non-invasive technology to pinpoint leaks accurately without unnecessary damage to your property.

Our leak detection equipment includes thermal imaging cameras, which detect temperature variations caused by escaping water, and acoustic listening equipment, which identifies the sound of water movement within pipes. Using these tools, our engineers can typically locate a leak to within a few centimetres, even when it is buried underground or behind finished walls. This means the repair area is kept as small as possible, minimising disruption and reinstatement costs.

Once the leak has been located, we provide a full written report detailing its position and recommended repair method, along with a fixed-price quote for the repair work. In many cases, the repair can be carried out on the same visit. We also carry out full pressure testing after repairs to confirm that the pipe system is sound, and provide documentation that can be used for insurance claims if required.
