Why Hidden Leaks Cause Big Problems
A small leak can turn into a costly repair — warped floors, damp walls and rising mould. Insurers often class slow, unseen leaks as gradual damage if left too long. We help you avoid that. Our leak detectors find the leak fast and document it clearly so your insurance claim goes smoothly.
You just want it found, fixed and finished — that’s exactly what we do!

What Do Leak Detectors in Bangor Deal With?

Our Leak Detection Methods
Our non-invasive approach uses industry-grade equipment:
Thermal Imaging – underfloor & bathroom leaks Infrared cameras reveal heat differences through tiles and floors to show exactly where water escapes.
Acoustic Listening – pressurised pipes & mains Sensitive microphones and correlators hear what you can’t — even through concrete or soil.
Tracer Gas – confirms the precise location A safe hydrogen–nitrogen gas finds its way out where water does; sensors detect it instantly.
Moisture Mapping – defines the spread We chart damp areas to guide drying and prevent secondary mould or timber damage.
Clear, Honest Pricing
Most Bangor homeowners pay £350–£600 for a full leak detection survey and repair.
That includes our report, images and evidence for your insurer.
Good to know: If your policy includes trace & access, your insurer should reimburse the cost — and PCLA will help with the paperwork.
| Service | Typical Cost | Includes |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Survey | From £350 | Non-destructive detection, leak repair + report |
| Complex / Multi-System | From £600 | Acoustic + thermal + tracer gas tests |
No hidden fees. We confirm costs before we start.
You just want it found, fixed and finished — that’s exactly what we do!
