What a wall leak report is and why it counts
A wall leak report is a substantiated inspection report in which we demonstrate the cause, extent, and exact location of a wall leak using measurement data, thermograms, photographic evidence, and conclusions. The report links building physics—such as capillary transport, vapor diffusion, thermal bridges, and hygroscopic moisture—to concrete findings, allowing you to distinguish between leakage, condensation, or rising damp. We structure the report according to concepts found in NEN 2778 and ISSO publications and align the report structure with insurers and repairers for smooth claims processing and efficient repair.
Our proven leak detection methods without demolition or breaking.
We combine multiple techniques to capture leaks in the wall with high reliability. These include infrared thermography with FLIR technology, electroacoustic detection, ultrasound, nitrogen-hydrogen tracer gas, endoscopy, fluorescein dye tests, smoke tests, calcium carbide CM measurement, and accurate moisture measurements with Protimeter and Tramex. Where relevant, we log temperature and relative humidity with data loggers to establish patterns and causes. Read how we work damage-free in our explanation at leak detection without heels and discover when we combine thermography with pressure tests for maximum certainty.
- ThermographyThermal images show cold zones caused by evaporative cooling, penetrating rainwater, or thermal bridges as visual evidence in the report.
- Trace gas: Forming gas with hydrogen and nitrogen finds micro-leaks in water pipes and central heating pipes, safely and precisely localized in the wall.
- EndoscopyMini camera inspections in the cavity or behind wall finishes capture defects in joints, foils, or pipes with photos and video.
- Moisture measurement and CM test: Capacitive and resistance measurements plus CM sampling provide quantitative moisture percentages for hard evidence.
Step-by-step process from inspection to expert report
- Intake and hypothesisYour complaints, photos, and construction drawings are analyzed, and we formulate verifiable causes such as a pipe leak or water penetration through the facade.
- Non-destructive measurementsWe combine thermography, acoustics, tracer gas, and moisture measurements to locate the leak in the wall without demolition work.
- Validation and exclusionWe rule out alternatives such as condensation or rising damp with building physics checks and targeted tests.
- Root cause analysisWe record the mechanism, such as capillary uptake through jointing or pressure loss in the water pipe, with measurement reports and graphs.
- Recovery advice: A concrete step-by-step plan with material advice, work sequence, and prevention so that you achieve a sustainable recovery.
- Final reportYou will receive a complete expert report with photos, thermograms, measurements, conclusions, and evidence for the insurer.

- Evidence and analysis: Annotations on photos and thermograms, measurement tables, graphs from moisture loggers, and substantiation from building physics.
- Recovery and prevention: Actionable advice with choice options, estimated bandwidth, planning, and prevention tips for similar walls or zones.
For water-based causes, where appropriate, we link to further in-depth information. water pipe leak in the wall or to the underlying case when a cavity wall construction is the culprit. If you want to know exactly how we approach your case, please also read our page about targeted approach for wall leakage with additional practical examples.
Typical causes and practical examples
We see patterns that help you get to the core faster and avoid unnecessary demolition.
- Pipework in the wall: Hairline cracks in joints or pinching due to expansion cause drip leaks that become visible as mold stains or peeling plaster.
- Facade penetration and rain penetration: Porous jointing, leaky frame seals, or missing lead flashing cause damp stains on interior walls during wind and rain.
- Thermal bridge and condensation: Continuous concrete beams or poorly insulated corners cause localized condensation that resembles a leak but must be treated differently.
- Surface water and rising groundwaterDifferential pressure and hydrostatic pressure at skirting boards and basement walls lead to wet zones and salt efflorescence.

Frequently asked questions
What is included in a wall leak report and is it suitable for my insurance?
You will receive a complete expert report detailing the cause, exact location, and severity, including a photographic report, thermographic images, moisture maps, and measured values. We document the findings for each room, demonstrate which test methods were employed, such as thermography, acoustic analysis, tracer gas, and endoscopy, and provide substantiated repair recommendations with a cost estimate and urgency.
The report is written for acceptance by insurers and contains clear conclusions, signed by certified VCA VOL and NEN 3140 specialists. You will receive the comprehensive report within three days, often with policy coverage. You can find out more about reports for insurers regarding sanitary damage cases via Example bathroom leak insurance report.
How quickly do I receive a wall leak report and how does it work in case of an emergency?
In case of emergency, we are available day and night and usually on-site within an hour. We start with an intake and perform non-destructive measurements using professional equipment such as a FLIR thermal camera, acoustic microphones, ultrasound, tracer gas, cavity endoscopy, and accurate moisture measurements for reliable source location.
You receive immediate verbal feedback, a draft within 24 hours, and the full expert report within three days. Thanks to fifteen years of experience, nationwide coverage, and a high success rate, the source is almost always identified quickly without disruptive excavation. If you need immediate help now, you can contact us via emergency cavity wall leak detection.
How much does a report on a wall leak cost, and when does the no cure no pay principle apply?
The price depends on the building type, accessibility, the number of rooms to be inspected, the complexity of the pipework or facade, and whether evening or weekend work is required. We work with fixed rates per scope of inspection so that you know exactly what to expect in advance, whether for business or private clients.
You will receive a free quote within 24 hours. If we are unable to prove the source, you pay nothing on a no cure no pay basis. Thanks to our partnership with insurers and coverage guarantee, the reporting is often reimbursed, making the process financially transparent and one hundred percent risk-free.
Does the moisture come from a pipe or penetrate the facade via rain, and how do you prove that?
If the stain increases mainly after showers or when the wind comes from a specific direction, this indicates penetrating damp or a leak in the facade or cavity. If the spot continues to grow regardless of the weather, or if the water meter continues to run with the taps closed, this more often points to a pipe leak behind the wall.
We separate causes using targeted tests such as a spray test on the facade, a smoke test and endoscopy in the cavity, thermography, and moisture profiles for building physics patterns. For pipework, we use pressure tests, tracer gas, and acoustic correlation. We document the evidence in the report. You can read more about facade inspection via detect rain penetration in facade.
