Services
Water Leak Detection
Our water leak detection service utilises ultrasound and thermal imaging technology to pinpoint hidden leaks in plumbing systems, roofs, and building structures. This non-invasive approach minimises property damage while enabling precise repairs. Clients benefit from reduced water waste, prevention of structural damage, and faster resolution times compared to traditional methods.
Thermal Imaging Surveys
Thermal imaging surveys identify heat loss, moisture ingress, and electrical faults through infrared technology. This diagnostic tool helps prevent energy inefficiency, structural decay, and fire hazards. Commercial and residential clients receive detailed reports highlighting problem areas with actionable recommendations for remediation and energy savings.
Flood Damage Restoration
Flood damage restoration includes emergency water extraction, structural drying, and property renovation. Our team uses industrial dehumidifiers and air movers to restore buildings to pre-damage condition. Services cover both immediate emergency response and long-term repairs, with coordination through insurance claims processes where required.
Insurance Claims Management
We manage building insurance claims from initial assessment to final repair, working directly with insurers to expedite approvals. Our detailed documentation and photographic evidence streamline claims for water, fire, and storm damage. Clients receive transparent communication throughout the process, ensuring compliance with policy terms.
Damp Surveys
Damp surveys identify rising damp, condensation, and penetrating damp through moisture meter testing and visual analysis. We provide tailored treatment plans including damp-proofing, ventilation improvements, and plaster replacement. Reports include photographic evidence and specifications for remedial works to prevent future issues.
