What is leak detection in Gersloot and when should you call us in?
Leak Detection Gersloot involves the targeted identification of a water or moisture source without unnecessary demolition or breaking. We analyze the building physics of your property, the regional pipe network (such as that of Vitens), and the interaction between the indoor climate and the building envelope. Call us in for visible water damage or, conversely, for unexplained moisture and pressure loss. This way, we prevent consequential damage to wood, insulation, and electrical installations.
- Signs of leakage: damp spots, peeling plaster, mold growth, musty odor, ticking sound in pipes, dropping boiler pressure or water meter that keeps running
- Common sources: water pipes, underfloor heating, drainage and rainwater drainage, roof details such as penetrations and ridge, window frames and façade details
- Risk in Friesland: rain penetration during strong southwesterly winds, capillary action in masonry, high groundwater level and thermal bridges in older buildings
- Consequential damage: wood rot, corrosion, short circuit, heat loss and decrease in the value of the property
How does our no-demolition leak detection work?
We combine measurement principles from building physics, such as vapor diffusion, capillary suction, and differential pressure, with instrumental detection. This gives you an exact source location and targeted repair advice, guaranteed coverage by your insurer. Do you want to know exactly how we work without causing damage, view our method without demolition or breaking.
- Thermography: thermal imaging camera visualizes temperature patterns in underfloor heating, flat roofs, and thermal bridges, making moisture trails visible
- Acoustic correlation: Ultrasound and correlator localize flow noise from leaking water pipes, even over longer distances
- Trace gas: inert mixture with hydrogen finds micro-leaks because gas migrates through cracks and joints faster than water
- Endoscopy: inspection in hollow spaces such as cavity walls and ceiling plenums to assess wet insulation, cracking, and defective sealing tape
- Dye and smoke test: controlled simulation of rain ingress or leakage in the drain to distinguish exact entry points in the facade or shower floor
Step-by-step leak detection process in Gersloot
- Intake and hypothesis: we discuss complaints, year of construction, material types, and situations such as recent renovations or storm loads, after which we draw up a measurement plan.
- Local inspection: visual structural check of roof, facade, wet rooms, and pipe routes in relation to the floor plan
- Instrumental measurements: use of thermography, moisture meter, acoustics, pressure test and, if necessary, tracer gas or endoscopy
- Analysis and validation: we link measurement data to the building physics cause and rule out alternative scenarios for an unambiguous diagnosis
- Report and advice: you will receive an expert report within three days with photos, measurements, source location, repair options, and prevention tips

Building physics behind moisture and leakage in Frisian homes
Leak detection in Gersloot requires insight into the Frisian climate and the construction of homes. Wind pressure on the west-facing facade increases the risk of rainwater penetration. Vapor diffusion and convection transport moisture to cold surfaces, which can lead to condensation and mold. In masonry, capillary action causes rising damp, while cracking at lintels or weep holes allows water to penetrate. Our measurement strategy takes these processes into account so that you solve not only the leak but also the cause.
Practical examples in Gersloot and the surrounding area
In a farmhouse near Gersloot Zuid, we located a micro-leak in a copper press fitting under the concrete floor using tracer gas without breaking anything open. In a corner house in Heerenveen, thermography revealed moisture trails extending from the dormer, after which a detailed repair of the flashing and sealing tape resolved the roof leakage. In a 1960s home with mold on the interior wall, a facade water test combined with endoscopy confirmed wet cavity insulation as the cause.
