Signs You May Need Leak Detection

Not sure where that moisture is coming from? Here are common warning signs of hidden leaks in bathrooms or balconies:

Bubbling or peeling paint

Warped or bubbled paint on walls or ceilings can indicate water seeping in behind surfaces.

Mouldy or musty odors

Damp, musty smells or visible mold growth suggest prolonged hidden moisture

Discoloured or missing grout

Gaps, cracks, or dark staining in grout lines mean water may be penetrating through tiles.

Water stains on ceilings

Brown watermarks on the ceiling (especially below a bathroom) are a clear sign of a leak above.

Swollen door frames or skirting

Timber that swells, warps, or shows rust on metal frames near wet areas often points to water ingress.

If you notice any of these issues, it’s time to call Megasealed’s leak detection experts before things worsen.

How Our Leak Detection Service Works

Our technicians use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to scan behind walls, under floors and around showers and balconies, interpreting the readings to pinpoint where water is escaping and then explaining the findings and recommended repairs.

Non‑Invasive Inspection

At Megasealed, we take the guesswork out of finding leaks. Our trained technicians come equipped with state-of-the-art moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to locate leaks without destructive exploration. Using forward-looking infrared (FLIR) technology, we can scan for hidden moisture and heat patterns behind walls, under floors, and around shower recesses. This non-invasive inspection pinpoints the leak’s source quickly and accurately, so we can fix it with minimal disruption. No need to tear up tiles or flood test blindly – our high-tech approach saves you time, mess, and money by zeroing in on the problem fast].

Report & Next Steps

Once the leak is identified, our team will explain the findings and recommend the best repair solution. Often, we can perform a no tile removal leak repair on the spot or schedule a follow-up for comprehensive waterproofing or re-sealing, depending on the severity. Throughout the process, we prioritize your home’s protection – preventing any further water damage and keeping costs down.

FAQs

What does your leak detection service involve?

Our leak detection service uses moisture meters and thermal imaging cameras to scan behind tiles, walls and floors around showers and balconies. This non‑invasive approach helps pinpoint the exact source of hidden leaks so we can recommend the most effective repair without unnecessary demolition.

When should I book leak detection instead of a standard repair?

Book leak detection if you can see signs of water damage but aren’t sure where it’s coming from—for example bubbling paint, swollen skirting boards, musty smells, ceiling stains below a bathroom or damp patches near a balcony. Early diagnosis prevents small leaks turning into major structural issues.

Will leak detection damage my tiles or walls?

No. Our technicians rely on specialised electronic testing and thermal imaging rather than breaking into walls or floors. In most cases we can locate the leak without removing any tiles, limiting mess and disruption inside your home.

Can you fix the leak once you’ve found it?

Yes. After we locate the problem, we’ll explain the results in plain language and recommend the best repair option. In many cases we can move straight into a no‑tile‑removal repair, or schedule follow‑up waterproofing and regrouting if a more comprehensive fix is needed.

How much does leak detection cost?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, how much damage has occurred and whether extra repairs like tile replacement are required. After inspecting the bathroom or balcony, we’ll give you a detailed, fixed‑price quote so you know the cost before approving any work.
