Good equipment.
Better-informed decisions.
A useful investigation combines the right tools with an understanding of your pipework. Here is what each method can help establish.
Thermal imaging cameras
Compare surface temperatures to guide checks on concealed heating routes and moisture patterns.
Explore thermal imaging camerasAcoustic listening equipment
Use leak-related sound to help trace pressurised water escaping from concealed pipework.

One method might indicate a circuit is losing water; another may help narrow the route or position. We select appropriate checks and explain the strength and limits of the evidence. The aim is a justified next step before opening a surface.
Equipment is chosen for the job. This guide explains method categories and does not promise a particular device model or that every method is needed at every property.
