Accurate, Non-Invasive Leak Detection in Twickenham & Surrounding Areas

We provide a full range of leak detection services designed to protect both residential and commercial properties from the damaging effects of hidden water leaks. Our expert engineers use the latest technology, including thermal imaging, acoustic listening devices, tracer gas, and moisture mapping, to find leaks quickly and accurately without unnecessary disruption. Whether you’re a homeowner worried about damp patches, a landlord managing multiple properties, or a business with complex plumbing systems, we deliver reliable, non-invasive solutions that save time, money, and stress.
Using high-tech acoustic and thermal imaging equipment, we can identify leaks in mains water pipes, underfloor heating systems, and internal plumbing with pinpoint accuracy. Unlike guesswork or destructive searches, our methods target the source of the problem quickly, helping you avoid unnecessary damage to walls, floors, or ceilings. This service is especially valuable when leaks are suspected but not visible, such as slow drips behind plaster or under tiled flooring, which can cause long-term damage if left unresolved.
Buying a property is a major investment, and the last thing you need is to inherit hidden water damage or ongoing leak problems. Our pre-purchase leak detection surveys uncover issues such as leaking pipes, damp ingress, or faulty heating systems before you sign contracts. This gives you the evidence you need to negotiate with sellers or budget for repairs. With many mortgage lenders and insurers increasingly recommending leak surveys, our service provides peace of mind and ensures you’re making a fully informed decision about your new home.
Water leaks in commercial properties can cause costly downtime, health and safety concerns, and even damage to stock or equipment. At Drain Master UK, we work with a wide range of businesses — from offices and restaurants to schools, care facilities, and industrial sites — to provide detailed leak detection reports with minimal disruption to operations. We also offer out-of-hours appointments to fit around your schedule, ensuring your business remains compliant, safe, and protected from avoidable water damage.
LEARN MOREDetecting leaks in buried pipes and underground mains can be one of the most difficult tasks without the right equipment. Our team uses tracer gas and advanced pipe-mapping technology to locate underground leaks accurately without large-scale excavation. This is essential for repair planning, property development, or compliance with local regulations. By combining precision leak detection with underground asset location, we help prevent unnecessary digging, reduce repair costs, and keep disruption to a minimum.
Regular monitoring and preventative leak detection can make all the difference when it comes to avoiding expensive emergencies. By scheduling routine inspections, we can detect early signs of leaks, damp, or corrosion before they escalate into serious problems. This service is particularly valuable for high-risk sites such as hotels, restaurants, and care homes, where even a small leak can cause major disruption. Preventative monitoring also supports insurance compliance and helps extend the life of your plumbing and heating systems, making it a cost-effective long-term solution.
Leak detection uses non-invasive methods such as acoustic listening devices, tracer gas, moisture mapping and thermal imaging to find hidden water leaks in pipes, central heating systems and underground mains without causing property damage.
