Local context

Leak detection in Rushmoor: what we expect on site.

Hard water at 280 to 310 ppm CaCO3, supplied across Rushmoor by South East Water and Affinity Water, deposits scale inside supply pipework that both narrows bore and makes pinhole corrosion harder to detect by conventional means. In former garrison housing – particularly the denser terraced rows in GU11 and GU14 – supply pipes often run beneath solid concrete floors originally laid to military-build specification, which means any leak can track considerable distance before surfacing as visible damage.

Our leak-detection surveys use thermal imaging to identify temperature differentials in floor and wall surfaces consistent with a subsurface water path, acoustic correlation to pinpoint the precise leak point within a pressurised supply line, and tracer gas injection where access or background noise makes acoustic methods alone insufficient. Together, these non-invasive techniques typically locate a leak to within a few centimetres without lifting a slab unnecessarily.

Every survey closes with an insurance-grade written report: methodology, annotated floor plans, instrument readings, thermal images, and a clear location marker suitable for submission directly to a loss adjuster or building insurer. No callout fee; fixed price after survey. See /pricing.

Frequently asked

Leak detection in Rushmoor: your questions.

How fast can you reach Rushmoor for leak detection?
Scheduled 1 to 2 working days, target on-site 9am to 5pm slot. We do not run reactive 24/7 callouts in Hampshire unless the district is M25-adjacent (yours is not). Scheduled project visits are slot-booked from our north-west London base. Times quoted are best-effort targets, not contractual guarantees.
What does leak detection cost in Rushmoor?
Rushmoor leak detection survey from £449 for a 60 to 90 minute visit with written insurance-grade report (inc VAT for domestic). Any follow-on repair work charged at the hourly rate that applies at your zone and time of day, billed in 30-minute increments (see /pricing). Salt-test damp analysis from £125 per sample with 48-hour lab turnaround.
Do you cover all postcodes in Rushmoor?
Yes. We cover GU11, GU12, GU14 across Aldershot, Farnborough, Cove and the rest of Rushmoor. Former MOD-garrison housing stock with cast-iron drainage networks; renewal works typically need MOD-history checks before excavation.
What kit do you bring to Rushmoor for leak detection?
FLIR E76 (320×240 sensor) or FLIR E96 (640×480 sensor) thermal imaging camera (sensitive to <0.04°C), Sewerin Aquaphon A150 acoustic correlator with rod and ground microphone, 5% hydrogen / 95% nitrogen tracer gas safe mix (BS EN 14338-compliant), Spectroline OPX-365 UV dye inspection lamp, and Protimeter Surveymaster moisture mapping tool.
Will the report be accepted by my insurer in Rushmoor?
Yes. Our written leak detection reports are accepted by every major UK insurer for trace-and-access policy claims: LV, Aviva, Direct Line, Admiral, Hiscox, Zurich, AXA, RSA, NIG, Allianz, Ageas, Legal & General. Reports include location coordinates, leak rate or drainage condition estimate, photographic evidence, thermal image scans, and a recommended-repair section the customer can hand to any contractor.
