Expert Thermal Leak Detection
Across Frome, Somerset & Wiltshire
Non-invasive infrared leak tracing by BC Plumbing. Fast, reliable, and fully insured.

When you have a hidden water leak, the traditional approach often involved invasive and costly digging to find the source. Our modern thermal imaging technology changes that completely.First, we conduct a thorough visual inspection and check your mains water supply, stopcock, and isolation valves. Next, we use highly sensitive infrared cameras to scan the affected areas. These cameras detect minute temperature differences caused by escaping hot or cold water, allowing us to map the moisture accurately.Whether the issue is a faulty central heating pipe, a compromised unvented hot water cylinder, or a fractured waste pipe, we can pinpoint the exact source. Once the leak is found, we will explain the best repair options clearly and transparently to get your home back to normal.

Choosing a professional thermal imaging survey saves you significant time, money, and disruption. Because we do not need to lift entire floors or break through plasterboard speculatively, the structural integrity and decor of your property remain fully protected.Our non-invasive leak tracing is particularly valuable for central heating leaks, underfloor heating systems, and tracing hot water system faults. By identifying the precise location of the escaping water, we limit the containment area, meaning subsequent repairs are faster and far more cost-effective. Swift detection also prevents long-term problems like rising damp, structural timber rot, and severe mould growth.
