Leak Finder – 6 Leak Detection Secrets

We offer a full water leak detection service to homes and businesses across the area but what are the secrets to being an effective leak finder? We look at the secrets of a professional leak detector service like us.

In there are many things that help us be expert water leak finders, finding water leaks in even the most difficult situations. spotting things that you could not possibly see with the naked eye, but we will focus on the top 6.

1 – Trusted Leak Finder Service

When looking for a trusted leak detection service, you are in good hands with Rainbow Restoration, we are the UKs leading damage management company, specialising in Fire Damage, Flood Damage and Water Damage (including water leaks). The fact that we have experience in other areas is extremely valuable.

For example, because we are trained and experienced in asbestos testing (and awareness) if we spot suspected possible asbestos close to where we find water leaks, such as an artex ceiling, that is a big benefit, especially for health and safety reasons.

We work for many of the UK’s biggest insurance companies who trust us to provide a first class service to their customers, including finding water leaks. They trust us and so can you.

We have an excellent track record of finding water leaks, even in hidden locations. Wherever possible we will do this with non-destructive leak detection methods and will only access the leak when we are confident we have gained enough evidence to access it (where the ‘access’ in Trace and Access comes from!)
