What Does Leak Detection Involve?
Leak detection covers the identification of leaks in water supply pipework, central heating systems and gas pipework that are not immediately visible. In urgent situations our emergency plumbing team responds first — concealed behind walls, under floors, beneath slabs, or within the fabric of the building. Professional leak detection uses specialist equipment to pinpoint the exact location of a leak without unnecessary damage to the property.
Kamdem HomeTech uses acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, and tracer gas detection to locate concealed leaks with precision. Our engineers are trained in trace and access techniques — finding the source of a leak with minimum invasive investigation, then carrying out the repair. This approach protects your property from unnecessary damage and identifies the exact source rather than guessing at the most likely location.
Types of leaks we detect and resolve include: concealed pipe leaks causing damp patches and structural damage; gas leaks identified by smell, carbon monoxide alarm activation or unexplained gas bill increases; central heating system leaks causing repeated pressure loss; underfloor pipe leaks (including both wet underfloor heating pipes and standard supply pipework); and mains water supply leaks between the meter and the property.
What Happens When You Delay?
A concealed water leak can discharge hundreds of litres per week without being immediately obvious. Over months, this saturates wall plaster, rots structural timbers, causes mould growth and undermines the integrity of the building. By the time damp patches appear on walls or ceilings, the damage to the structure behind may already be extensive.
A gas leak is more immediately dangerous. Even a small gas escape can accumulate to explosive concentrations in an enclosed space. If you smell gas, hear a hissing sound from pipework, or your carbon monoxide alarm has activated — do not attempt to find the leak yourself. Open windows, turn off the gas at the meter, evacuate the property, and call Kamdem HomeTech immediately. Our Gas Safe registered engineers are equipped to locate and safely repair gas leaks across Greater Manchester.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Signs of a concealed water leak include: unexplained increase in water bills; damp patches on walls, ceilings or floors; sound of running water when all taps and appliances are off; reduced mains water pressure; musty smell indicating mould growth.
What do I do if I smell gas in my home?
Do not operate any electrical switches. Open windows and doors. Turn off the gas supply at the meter. Evacuate the property. Call Kamdem HomeTech immediately on 07826 088938. Do not re-enter until cleared by a Gas Safe engineer.
How does acoustic leak detection work?
Acoustic leak detection equipment amplifies the sound of water escaping under pressure through a small hole or crack in a pipe. Our engineers move a sensitive ground microphone along the pipe route to pinpoint the loudest point — which corresponds to the leak location.
Can you detect leaks under concrete floors?
Yes. We use a combination of acoustic listening equipment and tracer gas to locate leaks beneath concrete floors. Tracer gas is introduced to the pipework under pressure and detected at surface level using a sensitive probe to pinpoint the leak location exactly.
How long does leak detection take?
A typical concealed leak detection exercise takes 1–3 hours, depending on the complexity of the pipework layout and the type of leak. Once located, repair time depends on the access required and the nature of the fault.
Can I make an insurance claim for leak detection and trace and access?
Many home insurance policies cover trace and access costs for concealed leaks. We provide full documentation of our detection findings and repair work, which can be submitted to your insurer. Check your policy documents for trace and access cover.
Do you detect gas leaks as well as water leaks?
Yes. Our Gas Safe registered engineers carry gas detection equipment and can locate gas leaks in supply pipes, appliance connections and meter fittings. Gas leak detection is treated as an emergency and attended immediately.
What causes a central heating system to repeatedly lose pressure?
Repeated pressure loss in a central heating system is almost always caused by a leak somewhere in the system — either at a radiator valve, a pipe joint, or at the boiler itself. Our engineers carry out a full system inspection to locate and repair the source of the pressure loss.
