Compare leak-detection visits by evidence and exclusions
Ask what the visit will establish, what remains uncertain and what a repair would cost separately. A tool name alone does not define a diagnosis.
| Compare | Ask each provider to confirm in writing |
|---|---|
| Area to investigate | Which rooms, pipe routes or outdoor zones are included, and what is the charge for expanding the investigation? |
| Tests and confirmation | Which checks are proposed? If thermal imaging shows an anomaly, how will the technician confirm whether it relates to moisture? |
| Access limitations | Can the agreed checks be completed through existing access points? Obtain approval before any opening or removal is added. |
| Written findings | Will the report identify tested areas, findings, photographs, limitations and the next recommended investigation or repair? |
| Repair and making good | Does the fee cover detection only, or also repair? Separate wall/ceiling reinstatement and decoration from the investigation. |
| Inconclusive or repeat visits | What is payable if the source is not found? Are return checks after a repair included, optional or separately charged? |

Frequently asked questions
Is leak detection the same as leak repair?
No. Detection identifies the source and likely repair path. Repair, opening walls or reinstatement should be quoted separately unless written in scope.
Do I need photos before requesting quotes?
Yes. Photos of stains, meter readings, dripping points and access areas help providers quote with fewer assumptions.
What should I compare in leak detection quotes?
Compare method, access assumptions, report detail, repair exclusions and whether a follow-up visit is included.
