How leak detection works without demolition
Our Leak Detection Amersfoort is completely non-destructive. We combine thermography with IR cameras from FLIR and Testo, acoustic correlation and ultrasound, hydrogen nitrogen tracer gas, cavity endoscopy, fluorescein dye testing, smoke tests, and accurate moisture measurements with Trotec and Gann Hydromette. By combining multiple techniques, we filter out noise such as condensation or capillary moisture transport and isolate the actual source of the leak, whether it is a faulty connection, porous joint, torn sealant seam, or leaking compression fitting. If you want to see exactly how we do this without any demolition work, read on immediately at leak detection without demolition.
Our process from report to repair advice

- Inspection and measurementsWe perform thermography, measure moisture gradients, conduct a pressure test on water pipes, and deploy tracer gas or smoke where necessary.
- Analysis and localizationWe combine measurement results with structural details, such as expansion joints, roofing, base joints, and penetrations, to map the exact source of the leak.
- Report and insuranceWithin three days, you will receive a clear expert report with photos, measurements, and a clear cause-and-effect analysis, suitable for your intermediary and insurer in accordance with the guidelines of the Dutch Association of Insurers.

Leak detection process request
Types of leaks we fix in Amersfoort
- Water pipe leakage: pressure loss, damp spots near the meter cupboard or crawl space, and unexplained higher consumption. Read about our approach at water pipe leak detection and prevent consequential damage.
- Roof leaks and penetrations: bitumen, EPDM or tiles, with attention to valley gutters, chimneys and skylights at Isselt and De Hoef.
- Bathroom and wet rooms: leaking shower drain, collar, sealant joint, or drain, often visible as circles in the ceiling below the bathroom.
- Underfloor heatingWe solve hot spots, air in the loop, and pressure loss with thermography and tracer gas.
- Facade and cavity: rain penetration, defective damp-proof course, or wet cavity insulation causes penetrating damp, especially on west-facing walls in the Eem Valley.
Signs and causes you should not ignore
- Damp spots and moldBrown circles, peeling paint, or black dots around window frame connections often indicate water ingress in seams or joints.
- High water bill: a hidden pipe leak in the crawl space or wall results in structurally higher consumption and a damp indoor climate.
- Dripping sound or hiss: Audible leakage at night may indicate a pipe with a micro-leak or a leaking sink connection.
- Hot strips in floor: Illogical heat patterns are indications of a leak in a heating loop or poor insulation boards.
- Only wet when it rainsA damp interior wall during a west wind often indicates rain penetration and failing waterproofing of the facade or window frame flanks.

Practical example from Amersfoort
In Vathorst, we found a rapidly rising water bill and a damp overflow at a family's home. Using a pressure test and tracer gas, we detected a pinpoint leak in the cold water pipe behind the vanity unit. FLIR thermography confirmed a localized thermal bridge caused by evaporation. We did not need to demolish anything, indicated the exact repair location, and provided an insurance-worthy report. The installer replaced a short section of pipe, and the damage remained limited. If you are experiencing similar symptoms, skip straight to our explanation on tracing roof leaks when moisture enters through the ceiling or attic.
