Our Leak Detection Services in Armagh
We provide a full range of professional leak detection and reporting services for both residential and commercial clients.
Water Leak Detection
We trace leaks in plumbing and supply pipes using thermal imaging, acoustic listening, and moisture mapping. This precise, non-destructive process avoids unnecessary digging or disruption.
Underfloor & Central Heating Leak Detection
Leaks under tiles or screed can cause major hidden damage. We use tracer gas and thermal cameras to confirm the exact location, often repairing with minimal access.
Trace and Access Reports
If your policy includes trace and access cover, our reports provide the clear evidence insurers require to approve your claim.
Plumbing Leak Repairs
After locating the fault, we can repair it directly or coordinate specialist reinstatement works. Every repair is pressure-tested and documented.

FAQs About PCLA's Armagh Leak Detection Service
How do you find hidden leaks without damaging my property?
We use non-invasive techniques such as thermal imaging, acoustic listening, moisture mapping, and tracer gas testing to locate leaks accurately without tearing up floors or walls. These tools let us find the source quickly and cleanly, saving you disruption and unnecessary repair costs.
How quickly can you get to me in Armagh?
We’re based locally and understand how urgent leak problems can be. In most cases, we offer same-day or next-day appointments throughout Armagh and the surrounding area, so you can get peace of mind fast.
Our goal is to stop further damage fast and get your property back to normal as soon as possible.
How much does leak detection cost, and will my insurance cover it?
Most leak detection surveys cost between £350 and £750, depending on the size and complexity of the job. Every leak is different, but we’ll always give you a clear quote before starting.
Did you know: many home insurance policies in Northern Ireland include Trace and Access which often covers the cost of leak detection. Ask us for advice on making a claim. We’ll provide a full written report to support your claim and guide you through the process.
Can you find leaks under floors or inside walls?
Yes. Many leaks in Armagh homes are hidden under tiles, wooden floors, or concrete slabs. Using thermal cameras, acoustic sensors, and tracer gas, we can pinpoint leaks even in concealed pipework—without the need for large-scale excavation.
What happens once you find the leak?
Once located, we’ll explain the cause, take photographs, and give you a clear repair plan. If you’d like, we can also carry out the repair. You’ll receive a detailed report for your records or insurance claim.
Are your engineers qualified and local to Armagh?
Yes. All our engineers are fully trained leak detection specialists who work across Northern Ireland. We regularly serve homes and businesses in Armagh, Portadown, and nearby villages, and we’re known for our tidy work and clear communication.
Do I really need a leak detection specialist, or can a plumber do it?
Plumbers are great for fixing visible leaks, but hidden leaks often require specialist tools and experience to locate precisely. Our job is to find the source without guesswork or damage—saving your plumber time and you unnecessary cost.
Will the survey disrupt my day?
Not at all. A typical survey takes two to three hours, and we work neatly and quietly. There’s no mess, no digging, and we’ll always tidy the area before we leave.
What if you can’t find the leak?
It’s rare, but if a leak can’t be detected after all tests, we’ll explain why and recommend the next step—often further pressure testing or isolation. We’ll never charge for unnecessary work or leave you without clear guidance.
How can I prevent leaks in the future?
Regular checks help a lot—keep an eye on your boiler pressure, and any damp patches. If your home has older pipework or underfloor heating, consider a preventative inspection once a year to catch small problems early.
