What is cavity wall leak detection and when do you request a quote?
Cavity wall leak detection is a building physics investigation method used to locate and prove unwanted water infiltration or condensation in the cavity. We combine measurement data with visual inspections and water tests in accordance with NEN guidelines for moisture in buildings, such as NEN 2778, and apply knowledge from WTA Nederland Vlaanderen, ISSO, and TNO publications. Request a quote as soon as you notice damp spots around window frames, cold corners, or skirting boards, or if a musty odor and high relative humidity are present. Independent leak detection is also advisable after facade cleaning or the installation of cavity insulation such as EPS beads, mineral wool, or PUR, to rule out the risk of moisture bridges or water ingress.
How does our cavity wall leak detection work without hacking or breaking?
We combine thermography, endoscopy, and controlled water loading with data logging. Using FLIR infrared cameras, we map temperature differences that indicate moisture transport. Endoscopy through existing open mortar joints reveals contamination, rusting cavity anchors, and missing water barriers. With color-indicating water tests and low-frequency acoustics, we delineate the exact leakage zone. Thanks to professional measuring instruments, VCA VOL and NEN 3140 certified specialists, and a ninety-nine percent success rate, demolition and breaking work is avoided. Read how we structurally address cavity wall-related problems via targeted cavity wall leakage detection and experience that we work without heels via leak detection without heels.
Methods and techniques in accordance with standards and practice
- Thermographic analysisThermal images capture cold streaks and moisture patterns consistent with capillary rise, driving rain penetration, or leaking connections around lintels and sills.
- Endoscopy of the cavity: via open weep holes, cavity contamination, thermal bridges, and the condition of cavity anchors and insulation, using KOMO references as an assessment framework.
- Dye test and water test: Controlled water loading with fluorescent tracer validates the route of water ingress at jointing, expansion joints, and connections with window frames.
- Acoustic and ultrasonic measurementMicrophone and ultrasound detect droplet noise and micro-leaks in void spaces and behind facade cladding.
- Moisture measurement and data loggingWe measure relative humidity, temperature, and dew point in accordance with building physics principles to distinguish condensation processes from rain penetration.

Costs and price breakdown of a cavity wall leak detection quote
- Scope of the investigationThe number of facade surfaces, height, and accessibility determine the required measurement time and scaffolding, aerial work platform, or rope access.
- Complexity of the cause: A combination of condensation, driving rain, and structural defects requires additional measurements and correlations.
- Required techniquesWe assess the use of thermography, endoscopy, water tests, and tracers on a case-by-case basis to remain efficient.
- Reporting and coordination: an insurance-eligible expert report and coordination with the contractor or insurer are included.

Practical examples and common causes
- Cracked joint or porous brick: after years of driving rain, penetration occurs through fine cracks and powdered facade bricks, visible as damp streaks under the window frame.
- Defective flood barrier: Missing or incorrectly installed lead flashing above window frames leads to direct water runoff into the cavity and inner leaf.
- Cavity contamination and thermal bridgeMortar protrusions or debris create a moisture bridge, especially in older buildings or after renovations without cavity battens.
- Insulation faults: Blown-in insulation without WTA and KOMO points of attention can retain moisture around cold junctions, leading to mold formation inside.
- Leakage around window frame: failing sealant joints and drainage openings cause leakage marks on reveals and window sills, read more about facade inspection via thorough facade leak detection.

Frequently asked questions
How much does leak detection in your cavity wall cost, and is the quote really free.
At Ultrices Leak Detection, you will receive a free and transparent quote within 24 hours. The final price for cavity wall inspection depends on factors such as the type of home, the height and accessibility of the facade, the presence of insulation such as EPS or PUR, the extent of the damp patches, and whether urgency is required. We work without demolition or breaking, on a no cure no pay basis, with a success rate of 99 percent.

Applying is simple. Send us your details with a brief description of the issue, including when it occurs (for example, only during rain), the year of construction, the type of facing brick and mortar, any known insulation in the cavity, and clear photos of damp patches or mold. We will analyze your input and send you a competitive quote with a plan of action within 24 hours.
In case of an emergency, we are on-site nationwide within one hour and are on standby 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our team is VCA VOL and NEN 3140 certified, works safely, and delivers a clear expert report that insurers understand. This allows you to address the root cause and prevent unnecessary repair costs.
How does cavity wall leak detection work without hacking or breaking?
We combine multiple non-destructive techniques for a conclusive diagnosis. These include thermography to visualize thermal bridges and wet insulation, endoscopy to inspect the cavity and damp-proof course, moisture measurements in interior walls, a smoke test to trace leakage paths through weep holes, and a controlled spray test on the facade to simulate rain penetration. Where necessary, we apply dye tracers to make capillary transport visible.
This approach provides insight into causes such as cracked mortar joints, defective damp-proof courses, open weep holes, or damaged cavity anchors that retain moisture. You will receive a clear report from us with photos, measurement data, and repair recommendations. If you want to see exactly how we inspect cavity walls without demolition work, read on. our non-destructive method.
Is cavity wall leak detection covered by your insurance, and what report do we provide?
