Water coming through a ceiling

Map of Buckinghamshire
Leaks we investigate in flats across Buckinghamshire.
You usually notice the signs before anyone knows the source. The investigation starts with what you have seen and works back to the pipe.
A leak reaching the flat below
If a neighbour reports water in their home, a survey can help show whether pipework in your flat is involved. Agree who is arranging the visit and who will give access.
Arranging accessDamp near a bathroom, kitchen or boiler
Supply, waste and heating pipes run behind tiles, units and floors. Tell the team where the damp appears and whether it gets worse when water is used.
How the methods helpHeating pressure that will not hold
A boiler that keeps losing pressure can have a hidden leak behind it, or a fault in the system itself. ADI can talk through whether a leak survey is the right place to start.

Call with your postcode
Say what you have noticed, when it started and whether another flat is affected. The team can check suitability, availability and a quote.
Agree access
Speak to the neighbour, landlord or managing agent before the visit, so the engineer can reach every flat and shared space involved.
The investigation
The engineer chooses methods to suit the leak and the access available on the day.
Findings and next steps
Ask what was found, what could not be checked and whether opening up or a repair is needed. Repairs and making good are agreed separately.
Leak detection equipment used in Buckinghamshire flats.
Not every method suits every leak. The engineer picks a combination based on the pipework, the building and what can be reached.
- Moisture meters
- Compare readings across a ceiling, wall or floor to see where water has spread.
- Thermal imaging
- Shows surface temperature patterns, which can help trace heating and hot-water pipes.
- Acoustic listening and tracer gas
- Help locate escaping water or gas in concealed pipework where the system allows.
- Inspection cameras
- Give a view into voids and confined spaces that are otherwise hard to see.
