How leak detection works in Erica
At Leak Detection Erica, we use non-destructive testing techniques to pinpoint the exact cause. We apply thermography to visualize temperature patterns, ultrasound and acoustic correlation to trace flow noise and pressure losses, tracer gas containing hydrogen and nitrogen for micro-leaks in water pipes, dye tests and endoscopy for drains, and smoke tests for air leaks in facade and roof details. We tailor the method to the year of construction, the materials present such as bitumen, EPDM, or PVC roofing, the installations such as central heating and underfloor heating, and the climatic conditions in Drenthe, based on insights from organizations including the KNMI and the Vechtstromen Water Board.
Methods for leak detection without hacking
- Thermography: temperature differences show pipe routes and leakage points, ideal for underfloor heating and insulated water pipes, even at low flow rates.
- Trace gas: inert gas mixture detects the smallest water pipe leak, safely and precisely with digital leak detectors and calibration according to NEN guidelines.
- Acoustic correlation: sensors compare sound profiles at multiple points and determine the leak accurate to within decimeters in pipes under the floor or in the garden.
- Dye and endoscopy: Fluorescent dye in shower or drain and compact camera inspection expose drain leaks and leaks behind tiling without demolition work.

Types of leaks in Erica and the surrounding area
- Water pipe leakageWe solve pressure loss, damp spots, and high water bills in homes and businesses in Erica with tracer gas and pressure tests.
- Roof leakage and roof detailsWe inspect bitumen seams, details around dormers, lead flashing, and penetrations using thermography, smoke, and targeted water tests.
- Drain and bathroomWe detect leaks around the shower, bath, or toilet using dye, a camera, and moisture measurement so that repairs remain targeted and minimal.
- Facade and cavityWe map penetrating damp, rainwater ingress along window frames, and defective water barriers in the cavity using endoscopy and a controlled spray test.

Practical examples in Erica
- Underfloor heating leak in 1980s home: pressure loss and wet joints, the leak exactly located at a bend using thermography and acoustics, repair in a small recess.
- Roof leak at dormer: Leakage around a bitumen connection; smoke test and water test revealed an open seam and porous sealing tape; repair by targeted welding and renewed detail.
- Unexplained moisture in interior wallEndoscopy in the cavity and spray test showed rainwater penetration through weep holes during westerly winds; jointing repaired and damp-proof course updated.
- High water bill in detached house: Tracer gas detected micro-leak in cold water pipe under the hall floor, minimal breaking opening and immediate repair by installer.

Frequently asked questions
How does leak detection work in Erica without hacking and breaking?
We start with a brief intake, after which we pinpoint the leak using thermography, acoustic correlation, moisture measurements, and, if necessary, tracer gas or a smoke test for sewers. This allows us to locate the source of a water pipe, underfloor heating, roof, or bathroom leak to within a centimeter, without breaking open the structure. Our equipment is calibrated, and we work in accordance with VCA VOL and NEN 3140.
You gain immediate insight into the cause, the leak path, and the fastest way to stop consequential damage. We provide clear repair advice, limit damage on-site, and achieve a 99 percent success rate in practice. You will receive a free quote within 24 hours and a comprehensive expert report within three days, including photos and measurements suitable for your insurer.

What types of leaks do you detect in Erica and what techniques do you use?
We detect water pipe leaks, leaks in underfloor heating and central heating pipes, roof leaks in bitumen or tiled roofs, bathroom and sealant joints, basement and facade penetration, as well as sewer leaks and crawl space problems. In and around Erica, we often see combinations of aging pipes, porous joints, and weather influences that lead to complex leak trails.
For each situation, we select the best method, such as thermography for heat leaks, acoustic correlation for pressure pipes, moisture measurements and salt tests in walls, a smoke test for sewers, a dye test with a fluorescent tracer, endoscopy in hollow spaces, and pressure tests. This allows us to provide an exact pinpoint without any demolition or breaking work, including repair advice that is immediately actionable.
