Underfloor leaks are among the most challenging types of plumbing issues a property owner can face. Whether caused by underfloor heating pipes, central heating systems, or hidden water lines, these leaks often go unnoticed until visible damage appears.
At Vortex Leak Detection Ltd, we specialise in underfloor leak detection in London and Cambridgeshire, providing fast, accurate, and non-destructive solutions for residential and commercial properties. Using cutting-edge diagnostic technology and industry-leading expertise, our engineers locate even the most concealed leaks saving you time, money, and property damage.
The Challenge of Underfloor Leaks
Underfloor leaks can develop slowly and silently, often hidden beneath layers of flooring, concrete, or screed. Because the pipework is buried, traditional repair methods can be disruptive and expensive.
Common causes include:
- Corroded or damaged pipe joints
- Movement in the flooring or screed
- Faulty underfloor heating installations
- Central heating pressure drops
- Accidental drilling or impact damage
Signs you may have an underfloor leak include:
- Unexplained loss of boiler pressure
- Warm or damp patches on floors
- Increased water bills
- Musty odours or damp flooring
- Constant sound of running water
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s crucial to contact professional leak detection specialists immediately to prevent escalating damage.
Underfloor Leak Detection London – Fast, Accurate, Non-Invasive
Our underfloor leak detection services in London combine advanced equipment with expert engineering knowledge to locate leaks precisely without unnecessary excavation or damage.
We use a combination of non-invasive diagnostic tools, including:
1. Thermal Imaging Cameras
Thermal imaging identifies abnormal temperature variations in the floor surface caused by escaping hot water. This helps pinpoint leaks in underfloor heating or concealed hot water pipes quickly.
2. Acoustic Leak Detection
Our sensitive listening devices detect the sound frequency of escaping water beneath floors, even through solid materials like concrete or tiles.
3. Tracer Gas Detection
We introduce a harmless, odourless tracer gas into the system, which escapes at the leak point and is detected by our precision sensors. This method is ideal for complex or large floor areas.
4. Moisture Mapping and Hygrometry
Our calibrated moisture meters identify elevated damp levels in floor materials, helping to trace the spread of water and assess damage extent.
These techniques allow us to find the exact leak source without drilling or damaging your property. Once located, we provide a detailed leak detection report and recommendations for professional repairs.

Cost of Leak Detection Services in Cambridgeshire and London
The cost of leak detection services depends on several factors, including property size, system complexity, and the detection methods required.
Typical costs range from:

- £450 to £750 for larger or commercial premises
At Vortex Leak Detection Ltd, we believe in transparent and fair pricing, with no hidden charges. We always provide a fixed quote before starting any work.
