A HIDDEN LEAK IS WORSE THAN A BURST PIPE
Burst pipes announce themselves. Hidden leaks don’t. A pinhole in a copper pipe behind the kitchen wall can drip for months — soaking insulation, rotting floor joists, growing mould — before anything visible appears. By the time you see the ceiling stain, the structural damage underneath is usually significant.
EcoGas’s leak detection service exists to find the leak before it finds you. We use professional thermal imaging cameras, acoustic listening equipment and tracer gas to pinpoint the exact source — no smashing through walls, no guessing, no destructive investigation.

SIGNS YOU HAVE A HIDDEN LEAK
Any of these together usually means water is escaping somewhere it shouldn’t
HIGHER WATER BILL
Bill higher than the same quarter last year for no obvious reason — water is being used somewhere you can't see.
METER TICKING OVER
Water meter still moving when every tap and appliance is off, even slowly.
DAMP & PEELING
Damp patches, peeling paint, or bubbling plaster on walls or ceilings — fresh moisture present.
MUSTY SMELL
Lingering musty smell in a specific room that doesn't go away with ventilation.
MOULD GROWTH
Mould appearing in corners or behind furniture in spots that used to be dry.
WARM FLOOR PATCH
Warm spot on a floor or wall — usually a hot water pipe or central heating pipe leaking.
ECOGAS'S NON-INVASIVE LEAK DETECTION PROCESS
LAYERED DETECTION
Three layers of detection, each more precise than the last. We use the right tool for the type of leak, not whatever we own.
TARGETED REPAIR
Once located, the repair is straightforward — small targeted access, the failed pipe section replaced, full pressure test before the wall or floor goes back.
WHAT PERTH SAYS AFTER WE'VE FOUND THEIR LEAK
Janet K. — Perth
Our water bill doubled and we couldn't see why. EcoGas came out, walked round with a thermal camera, and within twenty minutes had identified a hot water pipe leaking under our hallway floor. Tiny pinhole, no visible damage. Tiny cut in the floor, pipe section replaced, problem solved.
Ravi M. — Perth
Damp patch on the bedroom ceiling that had appeared for no reason. EcoGas traced it to a pinhole in a heating pipe two rooms away — water had been tracking along the joist before dropping through. Without thermal imaging we'd never have found it.
Pauline S. — Perth
Convinced we had a leak somewhere because the boiler kept losing pressure. EcoGas pressure-tested the system, isolated each section, found a slow weep on a soldered joint in the airing cupboard. Fixed in 20 minutes. Boiler's been steady ever since.
Henry W. — Perth
Underfloor heating losing pressure constantly. EcoGas found the leak point using thermal imaging — no need to lift the screed across the whole room. Small targeted repair, system back to full pressure, no expensive flooring damage.
