For leak detection without drilling, we combine various techniques that have often been proven worldwide. Think of measuring instruments from renowned brands like FLIR and Testo for thermography, and advanced ultrasonic equipment. With a thermal imaging camera, we can quickly visualize temperature differences in pipes or structures, allowing us to precisely locate a leak. Tracer gas, ultrasonic detectors, and digital hygrometers enable us to accurately detect even minuscule moisture loss or leaks. This prevents unnecessary damage from breakage, leaving your floor, wall, or ceiling completely intact.Process and techniques of leak detection without drilling
We follow a clear and structured step-by-step plan throughout every leak detection process.

Various techniques for leak detection without drilling
We have the best technology and equipment for hole-less leak detection at our disposal for various types of leaks. Some of our most frequently used methods include:- Thermographic researchThermal imaging cameras provide crystal-clear images of temperature differences in underfloor heating, ceilings, or roofs.
- Ultrasonic detectionSound waves locate leaks by detecting abnormalities in cables or piping.
- Trace gas detection: A non-harmful gas mixture detects leaks in micro-pipes and hard-to-reach places, without damage.
- Moisture measurementsDigital humidity meters instantly show where walls, floors, or ceilings contain hidden moisture problems.
Practical examples of leak detection without demolition work
Chipping-free leak detection is suitable for a wide range of situations in homes, commercial spaces, (listed) buildings, or industrial environments. We were recently called in Rotterdam regarding unexplained damp patches on a ground-floor wall. Using moisture meters and ultrasonic equipment, we were able to locate a leaking pipe under a parquet floor without disturbing a single plank. In Utrecht, we encountered a home where frequent roof leaks were causing significant inconvenience. Our team used smoke testing to identify leaking seams in the bitumen roofing layer, completely without chiseling the ceiling.- Invisible pipe leakageBy applying ultrasonic signals and tracer gas to pipes in concrete floors or walls, water loss can be located quickly and accurately.
- Damp spots in walls or ceilings: Thermography reveals hidden leaks, allowing for targeted repairs.
- Roof or balcony leaksWe use smoke tests and dye analysis to detect leaks in roofing or mortar without breaking anything open.
