You might want to explore the possibility of reimbursing the Trace and Access cost for your leak through your home insurance company under your buildings insurance or home insurance policy.
Trace and Access is an optional component of many house insurance policies, encompassing the expenses associated with non-invasive leak detection to pinpoint the leak and gain access to it. Typically, this coverage doesn’t extend to cover the cost of necessary repairs. Nevertheless, it usually includes the costs of remedial work that follows a successful leak repair.
You might not be aware that you have Trace and Access coverage unless you specifically inquire with your home insurance provider or review your policy schedule to identify it.
It’s important to note that each home insurance company may have different terms and conditions pertaining to Trace and Access coverage. Therefore, it’s always advisable to contact your insurer to clarify what falls under their coverage and what doesn’t. This service can typically be located within your home or buildings insurance policy.
Very few local plumbers in have the necessary tools or experience to successfully track a hidden water leak under the floor. The team here at ADI Leak Detection are all qualified plumbing and heating engineers who are equipped with specialist leak detection technology – using a combination of their engineering experience and the specialist equipment to methodologically trace your leak.
Many customers insurance policies will not cover the damage caused by traditional excavation to trace a leak, and you probably wouldn’t want that method used in your home either!
Trace & Access Leak Detection costs typically begin at £495 depending on the size of your property.
We maintain a network of specialized Trace and Access engineers across the UK, ensuring that one of our leak detection specialists is readily available for your needs.
If your policy provides coverage, you may be eligible to reclaim our fees for the tracing and accessing service, backed by our comprehensive, insurance-approved reporting.
ADI Leak Detection are proud to be the pioneering Leak Detection specialists in the UK. We take pride in our dedicated research and development division, which is committed to enhancing the techniques employed in detecting water leaks. This commitment is what sets our engineers apart as the most well-equipped professionals in the industry.
Before our engineers employ tracer gases, a critical step is to drain the suspected pipework of any water. Subsequently, we introduce tracer gases into the system.
It's important to note that these tracer gases are entirely safe and non-toxic, consisting of 95% Nitrogen and 5% Hydrogen. These gases exit the pipework at the precise location of the leak and ascend to the surface, permeating through nearly all materials.
Our specialized sniffing devices are then utilized to pinpoint the exact source of the gas, thereby identifying the location of the leak.
Our advanced Acoustic Listening Devices are highly effective tools for capturing the sounds of water or gas escaping from pipework, even when the source is located up to 3 meters below the surface.
These devices play a crucial role in precisely identifying the location of a leak, whether it's under an internal floor or an external surface. As a result, they are employed for both internal and external leak detection tasks, making them invaluable in our comprehensive leak detection services.
Our cutting-edge Thermal Imaging devices take the lead in the market when it comes to tracing the routes of hot and cold pipework concealed beneath internal floors and within walls.
Typically, Thermal Imaging is deployed at the initiation of the Trace & Access process. It serves as a crucial tool for engineers, allowing them to map out the intricate network of hidden pipework within your home. This early-stage assessment is instrumental in planning and executing a successful Trace & Access operation.
Snake cameras serve as invaluable tools for inspecting water leaks in areas within walls, under cupboards, and other locations where a visual examination is necessary but physically accessing the area is challenging.
Typically employed in the later stages of a leak detection process, snake cameras are instrumental in confirming that the suspected water leak is indeed located in the anticipated area before any physical access or intervention is undertaken. This step ensures accurate targeting of the issue, minimizing disruption and unnecessary exploration.
