Water Leak Detection Specialists
Unlike some leak detection companies, we offer a complete end-to-end service. Our water leak detection services include:
- Trace and access investigation
- Support for home insurance claims
- Water leak repairs
- Full reinstatement of water damaged areas
A wikea services leak detection specialist will help prevent further damage to your property. They’ll locate the source of a water leak or ingress. A detailed report is provided as part of every investigation. Finally, they’ll provide a fixed price quote for repairing the problem, including full refurbishment of any water damaged areas.
Non invasive detection
The equipment used by our leak detection specialists for locating leaks are mainly non destructive. Leaks can be traced without having to expose pipes. The approach is cost effective compared to exposing parts of a property in the vain hope of finding a leak.
This approach is required by most insurance companies when an “escape of water” claim is being made.
Detection methods include:
- Thermal imaging
- Tracer gas
- Acoustic surveys
- Moisture meters
- Borescope cameras
- Salts analysis
Drainage specialists or a plumber?
Our drainage engineers (sometimes known as drainage contractors) and plumbers tend to handle different tasks. Our plumbers fix issues relating to the cold water supply and circulation within a property. Our drainage engineers mainly deal with issues where water is flowing out of a property.
When it comes to soil and wastewater problems, our specialist drainage engineers are equipped to fully investigate and carry out the appropriate work. They use water jetting equipment, drain cleaning machines, commercial grade chemical treatments, and have access to a suction tanker that removes wastewater in flood situations. CCTV cameras allow them to locate faults in underground pipes that a plumber won’t be able to find.
Our drainage engineers start out by gaining their plumbing qualifications and gain several years of experience before specialising in drainage. This means they’re well qualified to carry out plumbing work too.
Based on the information you provide, we’ll send the best tradesperson for the job – be it a drainage specialist to deal with a blockage or an emergency plumber to work on a cold-water supply issue.

Detecting leaks underground
Our drainage engineers are also skilled at resolving drain issues underground and sewage leaks. They can check the pipe with a camera to look for obvious holes, and employ other methods for hidden leaks. Pressure testing involves bunging a section of pipe; if there’s a drop in pressure, you know there’s an issue. There’s also smoke testing, which reveals the location of minor cracks as the smoke escapes the system.
