About ADI Leak Detection
Specialist Water Leak Detection Across England, Scotland and Wales
ADI Leak Detection provides specialist water leak detection and investigation services for residential, commercial and industrial properties throughout England, Scotland and Wales. Established in 2011, the business works with homeowners, landlords, tenants, property managers, insurers and loss adjusters to locate hidden water leaks and help limit damage to buildings and their contents.
Experienced leak detection engineers use non-invasive methods and specialist equipment to investigate leaks in water supply pipes, central heating systems, hot and cold water plumbing, bathrooms, ceilings, swimming pools, roofs, drainage and irrigation systems. Techniques include tracer gas testing, acoustic listening, thermal imaging, pressure testing, borescope inspections and moisture measurement. ADI also provides leak repairs for plumbing, central heating, water mains and swimming pool systems, with written reports and photographic or video evidence available to support insurance claims.
Water Mains Leak Detection
Water mains leak detection locates leaks on underground supply pipes beneath gardens, driveways, paths and buildings. Acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas testing can help pinpoint escaping water through soil, gravel, concrete and tarmac. Identifying the leak location can help focus any necessary access and repair work, reducing the need for unnecessary excavation.
Central Heating Leak Detection
Central heating leak investigations cover radiators, heating pipework and concealed systems beneath floors, behind walls and within ceilings. Thermal imaging, tracer gas, acoustic listening devices, moisture meters and pressure testing can be used to trace water loss and establish whether a heating system is leaking. Repair services are also available for central heating leaks.
Underfloor Heating Leak Detection
Leaks in underfloor heating pipework can be difficult to locate because the pipes are concealed beneath floor finishes. Specialist detection methods, including thermal imaging, tracer gas and pressure testing, help investigate suspected leaks and identify their position while limiting disruption to the surrounding floor structure.
Bathroom Leak Detection
Bathroom leak detection investigates water escaping from showers, baths, sinks, toilets and concealed pipework behind walls or beneath floors. Thermal imaging, moisture meters, acoustic equipment and inspection cameras can help trace the source of damp patches, water damage and hidden plumbing leaks without immediately removing tiles or other finishes.
Roof Leak Detection
Roof leak investigations identify water ingress through flat and pitched roofs, including leaks associated with roof coverings, flashing, gutters and other roof details. Inspection methods can include thermal imaging, moisture measurement, tracer gas, smoke testing, drone surveys and electronic testing of flat roof membranes. The service focuses on locating and reporting the source of the leak rather than carrying out roof repairs.
Drain and Drainage Leak Investigation
Drainage investigations use CCTV drain surveys, inspection cameras and other specialist techniques to examine drainage and waste systems. The process can help identify leaks, blockages and structural issues within underground or concealed drainage runs, providing information about the location and nature of the problem.
Swimming Pool Leak Detection
Swimming pool leak detection investigates water loss from pool structures, liners, filtration systems and associated pipework. Methods can include pressure testing, tracer gas, acoustic listening and dye testing, with specialist underwater inspection where appropriate. ADI provides swimming pool leak detection and repair services to help identify and address water loss.
Underground Leak Detection
Underground leak detection helps trace hidden water leaks beneath external surfaces and within buried pipework. Acoustic equipment, tracer gas and other specialist investigation methods can be used to narrow down the location of a leak beneath gardens, paths, driveways and other ground surfaces, helping to inform the next steps for access and repair.
Structural Leak Detection
Structural leak investigations help identify water ingress affecting building structures and concealed areas. Specialist equipment, including thermal imaging, moisture meters and inspection cameras, can assist in tracing the source and extent of water penetration. The service provides investigation findings and reporting; structural leak repairs are not undertaken by ADI.
Nationwide Leak Detection Coverage
ADI Leak Detection operates throughout England, Scotland and Wales, with engineers based across the regions it serves. Its nationwide coverage includes domestic, commercial and industrial properties, as well as work for property management and insurance-sector clients. Customers can check service availability for their location and the relevant specialist service.

Which areas of the UK does ADI Leak Detection cover?
ADI covers England, Scotland and Wales. Engineers are based across the regions served, and customers can check coverage for their postcode through the areas we serve page.
What methods does ADI use to find hidden water leaks?
Detection methods include tracer gas testing, acoustic listening equipment, thermal imaging, pressure testing, borescope cameras and moisture meters. The techniques used depend on the suspected leak and the property.
Can ADI locate leaks in underground water mains and supply pipes?
Yes. Water mains leak detection can locate leaks beneath gardens, paths, driveways and buildings. Acoustic ground microphones and tracer gas testing can help identify the leak location.
Can ADI detect leaks in central heating and underfloor heating systems?
Yes. Investigations cover radiators, central heating pipework and underfloor heating systems. Thermal imaging, tracer gas, acoustic equipment and pressure testing can help trace hidden leaks.
Which types of leaks can ADI detect and repair?
ADI provides repairs for plumbing pipes, central heating systems, water mains and swimming pools. Roof and structural leaks are investigated and reported on, but repairs to those types of leaks are not provided.
Can ADI find hidden leaks in bathrooms and showers?
Yes. Bathroom leak detection can investigate showers, baths, sinks, toilets and concealed pipework behind walls or beneath floors.
Can ADI investigate leaks through flat and pitched roofs?
Yes. Roof investigations cover flat and pitched roofs and can use thermal imaging, moisture meters, tracer gas, smoke testing, drone surveys and electronic leak testing. The service identifies and reports the source rather than undertaking roof repairs.
Does ADI provide swimming pool leak detection and repairs?
Yes. Swimming pool investigations can cover pool structures, liners, filtration systems and associated pipework, using methods such as pressure testing, tracer gas, acoustic listening and dye testing. ADI also provides swimming pool leak repairs.
Can ADI provide a leak detection report for an insurance claim?
Yes. ADI provides trace-and-access reports written by the attending engineer and supported by photographic and video evidence. Customers should check their policy and claim requirements with their insurer.
What are the conditions of ADI's No Find, No Fee service?
The offer applies to qualifying investigations for a single leak at an individual property where the leak is losing at least half a litre of water per minute. It covers hot and cold feed plumbing leaks and water mains up to 30 metres long. Central heating, structural and swimming pool leaks are excluded. Full terms and conditions apply.
How do I arrange a leak detection appointment with ADI?
Contact ADI with details of the property location, the type of leak suspected and any symptoms such as damp patches, falling boiler pressure or unexplained water loss. The team can help identify the appropriate investigation service and discuss the next steps.
