Do you recognise this?

One of these situations sound familiar?

If any of the below applies to you, leak detection is likely the right next step — before any repair work begins.

💧

You see a damp patch or water damage — but can’t find the cause
Water appears on your wall, floor or ceiling. There is no obvious explanation and no visible source.

📈

The damage is slowly getting worse — or keeps coming back
You’ve repaired or painted over it before, but the problem returns. That means the source hasn’t been found yet.

💸

Your water consumption has suddenly increased
Your water bill is unexpectedly higher, or your meter keeps running even when all taps are closed.

🚫

You don’t want to break walls or floors without certainty
Opening up a floor or wall without knowing the exact leak location is expensive, disruptive and often pointless.

📄

Your insurer asks for an objective report before they reimburse
Dutch insurers require documented evidence of the leak source. Our certified report provides exactly that.

🔧

A plumber or roofer already looked — but couldn’t find it
Visual inspection misses what specialist equipment finds. We locate what others couldn’t.

Call us — we advise you for free and plan a same-day inspection where possible.

Our services

Leak detection for every situation

We cover all types of leaks in homes, apartments, commercial buildings and swimming pools — for private owners, expats, VvE’s and property managers.

🚿
Water pipe leak
Leaking pipe under concrete floor, in a wall, crawl space or ceiling. Located without breaking anything open.
🏠
Roof & dormer leak
Flat or pitched roof, dormer, skylight or chimney flashing. Smoke test finds the exact entry point.
🔥
Underfloor heating
Loss of pressure in your vloerverwarming system. We locate the leaking pipe — no floor damage.
🌡️
Central heating & pipes
Leaking CV system, radiator pipes or heat pump connections — located without dismantling your heating installation.
🧱
Wall & façade
Water entering through exterior walls, window frames or facade joints after rain.
🛁
Bathroom leak
Leaks through shower, bath, toilet or grout — often the cause of damage to the floor below.
🏊
Swimming pool
Liner, polyester or concrete pool. Dye test & electric field method — no draining needed.
🏢
Basement & cellar
Rising damp or groundwater penetration — source identified and documented for remediation.
🪟
Window & frame leak
Water entering around window frames, balcony doors or skylights — especially during wind-driven rain.
🌊
Drain & sewer leak
Leaking drain connections or sewer pipes under the floor — located with camera inspection and smoke test.

Detection methods

How we find leaks — our techniques

We always combine the right methods for your specific situation — all non-destructive. No breaking, no drilling, no guessing.

🎧
Acoustic detection
Geophones detect the sound of escaping water in pressurised pipes — through concrete, soil and asphalt. No digging required.

Water pipes · Underground

🔬
Tracer gas
Harmless gas is injected into the pipe. A surface sensor detects exactly where gas — and therefore the leak — escapes. For small, deep leaks.

Pipes · Underfloor heating

📊
Pressure test
Each pipe circuit is pressurised individually. A pressure drop immediately identifies the leaking group — without opening the building.

Pipes · Pool circuits

🎨
Dye test
Eco-friendly dye is applied near suspected leak points. If the dye is drawn in, the exact location is found — used for pools, joints and connections.

Swimming pools · Joints

📷
Camera inspection
A small camera is fed through drain or pipe openings to visually inspect for cracks, root ingress or failed connections — without breaking anything open.

Drains · Sewer · Pipes

💧
Moisture meter
Determines how deep moisture has penetrated into walls, floors and ceilings. Essential for damage assessment and insurance reporting.

Walls · Floors · Ceilings
Not sure which method applies to your situation?
Call us — we advise you by phone which approach is right, and plan the inspection accordingly.

Why choose us

The specialist — not the plumber who guesses

Plumbers and roofers inspect visually. We use equipment they don’t have. That’s the difference between repeated failed repairs and finding the source once, correctly.

🚫
No demolition
Acoustic sensors, tracer gas, thermal cameras and smoke testing locate leaks through floors, tiles and walls. Your contractor only opens the exact spot. Zero guesswork.
Same-day · Nationwide
Available across the entire Netherlands — often the same day you call. For urgent water damage we prioritise your appointment.
🛡️
Insurance covers the cost
Leak detection is a schadebeperkende maatregel (damage-limiting measure) in the Netherlands. Your building insurance reimburses our costs in almost all cases.
📄
Certified report included
After every inspection: full report with exact location, photos, cause and repair advice. Ready for your insurer, plumber, contractor or VvE.
❌ Without detection
  • Plumber inspects visually — misses the source

Insurance & costs

Will my Dutch insurance cover this?

Yes — in almost all cases. Leak detection is a damage-limiting measure (schadebeperkende maatregel) under Dutch insurance law. Your building insurance (opstalverzekering) reimburses our inspection costs because finding the leak prevents further damage.

✅ Detection costs — almost always reimbursed
✅ Sudden & unexpected damage — covered
✅ Our report accepted by all major Dutch insurers
❌ Wear & tear / deferred maintenance — not covered

💡 Important: Always get a leak detection report before any repair work. Insurers require documented evidence of the damage source — and that is exactly what we provide.

Customer reviews

What our customers say

From homeowners and expats to VvE’s and property managers — across the Netherlands.

★★★★★

“Finally someone who actually found it. For months I had a stubborn leak. Various plumbers, holes in the walls, endless guessing — but nobody could find the cause. Within one appointment they located it precisely, without demolition.”

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to break tiles or floors for leak detection?
No. We use acoustic sensors, tracer gas, thermal imaging and smoke tests — all non-destructive. We locate the exact leak position so your contractor only needs to open the precise spot. Zero unnecessary demolition.
Will my Dutch building insurance cover the detection cost?
In almost all cases, yes. Leak detection is classified as a damage-limiting measure (schadebeperkende maatregel) under Dutch insurance law — your building insurer is incentivised to reimburse it because finding the leak prevents further, more costly damage. Our certified report gives your insurer everything they need.
How quickly can you come?
In most regions we are available the same day. For urgent situations — active water damage — we prioritise your appointment. Call us and we will find the earliest slot across our nationwide network.
I’m an expat or international tenant — can I use your service?
Absolutely. We regularly work with expats, international tenants and foreign property investors across the Netherlands. If you are a tenant, we recommend informing your landlord or VvE first — our report supports your position in any dispute.
A plumber already looked but couldn’t find the leak. Can you still help?
This is exactly the situation we specialise in. Plumbers and roofers rely on visual inspection — they don’t carry detection equipment. With acoustic sensors, tracer gas and thermal cameras we find leaks that visual inspection misses, even when others have already tried.
What does leak detection cost in the Netherlands?
Cost depends on the type of leak, property size and number of circuits to test. Call us for a tailored estimate. Keep in mind: in most cases your insurer reimburses the full detection cost — making the net cost to you zero.
