- A hissing or trickling sound in a wall when the house is quiet

How does ADI Leak Detection Kinmel Bay find a hidden pipe leak?
The engineer pressure tests the pipes, listens for escaping water in walls and floors, then uses thermal imaging and moisture readings to close in on the leak. Once the position is found, the engineer explains it on site before any repair is discussed.
Separate isolation tests identify whether the hot or cold circuit is leaking before tracing starts.
A listening stick and ground microphone detect escaping water through walls and floors. Water under pressure gives a steady hiss that changes as the engineer gets closer.
Thermal imaging reads the heat pattern of a hot water leak through plaster and screed, straight from the surface.
Pin and pinless moisture meters measure the spread of damp around a pipe leak, separating a live leak from an old stain.
A borescope through a small hole gives a look at the pipe itself before any repair is agreed.
