If you’re noticing damp smells, mould, bubbling paint, dripping sounds or unexpected increases in water bills, you may have a hidden water leak. The Leak Hunter provides fast, accurate and non-destructive water leak detection Havering, helping homeowners, landlords and commercial clients prevent serious damage.
We locate leaks in walls, ceilings, floors, bathrooms, underground mains and concealed pipework using advanced diagnostic technology — without unnecessary disruption. Once the leak is located, we can also complete all required repairs.
How We Detect Water Leaks in Havering
Thermal Imaging
Infrared cameras highlight temperature variations behind surfaces, revealing hidden leak pathways.
Acoustic Leak Detection
Specialist acoustic equipment detects the unique vibration patterns from escaping water inside pipework and structural voids.
Tracer Gas Testing
A harmless tracer gas mixture is added to the pipework. Sensitive gas probes detect where it escapes, making it ideal for pinpointing small or difficult leaks.
Moisture Mapping
Moisture meters measure damp levels within building surfaces to show how far the leak has spread.
Endoscopic Camera Surveys
Slimline cameras allow access to pipe boxing, wall cavities and voids with minimal disturbance.
Hidden Leaks
Hidden leaks often develop:
- Behind plasterboard
- Beneath tiled or wooden flooring
- Inside wall cavities
- Within structural voids
Early symptoms include damp smells, recurring wet patches, peeling paint, boiler pressure loss or rising water usage.
Ceiling Leaks
Signs of a ceiling leak include:
- Brown or yellow staining
- Bubbling or peeling paint
- Sagging plasterboard
- Intermittent or constant dripping
Most ceiling leaks originate from bathrooms or pipe joints above. We identify the exact cause for reliable repairs.

We trace bathroom leaks from:
- Shower trays
