The Leak Hunter provides specialist water leak detection Barnes, offering fast, accurate and non-destructive leak tracing for homes, riverside properties, converted flats, commercial units and period buildings across SW13. Our engineers locate leaks in walls, ceilings, floors, bathrooms, heating systems, underground water pipes and concealed plumbing using advanced diagnostic technology.

How We Detect Water Leaks in Barnes
Acoustic Leak Detection
Identifies leak noise and vibration patterns through walls, floors, ceilings and pipework.
Tracer Gas Testing
A harmless tracer gas mixture is introduced into the pipework. It escapes only at the leak point, enabling highly accurate detection.
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras highlight heat variations associated with moisture movement and concealed heating pipe leaks.
Moisture Mapping
Moisture meters measure damp levels across surfaces to confirm the true leak location.
Endoscopic Camera Surveys
Inspection cameras allow access to hidden areas such as floor voids, boxed pipework and wall cavities without destructive opening.
Hidden Leaks
Hidden leaks often occur:
- Behind plasterboard
- Beneath wooden or tiled flooring
- Inside cavity walls
- Within boxed-in pipe routes
Common signs include damp smells, wet patches, rising bills and boiler pressure drops.
We detect hidden leaks with pinpoint accuracy and minimal disruption.
Ceiling Leaks
Ceiling leaks in Barnes often present as:
- Brown or yellow stains
- Peeling or bubbling paint
- Sagging plasterboard
- Occasional or visible dripping
These typically originate from bathrooms, radiators or plumbing located above the affected ceiling.
We identify the true source to ensure long-lasting repairs.
Bathroom Leaks
We trace bathroom leaks caused by:
- Faulty shower trays
- Damaged bath seals
- Toilet waste pipe leaks
- Mixer valve failures
- Concealed hot/cold water pipework
All detection is carried out non-destructively to protect finishes and reduce disruption.
