Can you find a leak without lifting the floor?

Where possible, we use non-invasive leak detection methods first, including thermal imaging, acoustic listening, moisture testing and tracer gas. Sometimes access is still needed, but the aim is to narrow down the leak location before any unnecessary disruption.

Can you help if my boiler keeps losing pressure?

Yes. A boiler that keeps losing pressure can be a sign of a hidden central heating leak. We can inspect and test the heating system to help locate where water may be escaping from the pipework.

Do you trace leaks under floors?

Yes. We investigate suspected underfloor leaks using specialist equipment and a careful process to help identify the most likely leak area before floors are lifted or access work is carried out.

Can you detect mains water leaks?

Yes. We can help trace suspected mains water leaks where there are signs such as low water pressure, damp areas, unexplained water usage, water staining or damage around the property.

Do you use tracer gas for leak detection?

Yes. Tracer gas can be used where suitable, especially for small or hidden leaks that are difficult to locate with visual checks alone. It can be helpful on heating pipework, water supplies and concealed pipe routes.

What should I do if I suspect a hidden leak?

If you suspect a hidden leak, try to avoid lifting floors or damaging walls before the issue has been properly investigated. Contact Premier Leak Detection so we can discuss the signs, advise on the next step and arrange a leak detection inspection in Southampton if needed.

Signs You May Need Leak Detection In Southampton

Hidden leaks in Southampton properties can develop gradually, and the source is not always in the same place as the visible damage. Water can travel beneath floors, behind walls or through ceiling spaces before it becomes obvious. If you have noticed damp patches, staining, mould, musty smells, boiler pressure loss or unexplained water usage, professional leak detection can help identify where the issue is likely to be coming from.

✓ Boiler dropping pressure regularly
✓ Damp patches on walls, ceilings or floors
✓ Unexplained water marks
✓ Higher than normal water bills

✓ Musty smells or damp areas
✓ Wet or warm patches on floors
✓ Mould or staining with no obvious cause
✓ Hidden leaks under concrete, tiles or floorboards

Leak Detection Services in Southampton

Central Heating Leaks

A central heating leak is often first noticed when the boiler keeps losing pressure or the system needs topping up again and again. We investigate suspected heating pipe leaks in Southampton using specialist equipment to help trace leaks hidden beneath floors, behind walls or within concealed pipework. The aim is to find the source accurately and avoid unnecessary damage wherever possible.

Mains Water Leaks

A mains water leak can cause low water pressure, damp ground, unexplained water usage, staining or damage inside the property. We help locate suspected water mains leaks in Southampton by using suitable leak detection methods to narrow down where the pipework may be leaking, helping you take the right next step before the problem becomes more costly.

Underfloor Leaks

Leaks under floors can be difficult to pinpoint because water may travel away from the actual source before signs appear. We use a careful, methodical approach with thermal imaging, moisture testing, acoustic listening and tracer gas where appropriate to help identify the most likely leak location before any access work is carried out.

Insurance & Trace Access Support

If your leak is part of an insurance claim, Trace and Access cover may help with the cost of finding the source. We can provide clear findings, photographs and supporting information from the leak detection inspection to help homeowners, landlords, insurers or loss adjusters understand what has been found and what needs to happen next.
