About Waterwise Leak Detection- Trace & Access
Waterwise Leak Detection - Trace & Access is a plumbing business based in Wellingborough. It locates and traces water leaks using acoustic correlation, tracer gas and thermal imaging. The business handles internal leaks in water supply pipes, central heating systems, boilers and bath and shower areas, and also traces external leaks on main water supply pipes up to the property boundary. Lead pipe replacement is offered as a full program.
The business covers Wellingborough, Northamptonshire, Birmingham, the Midlands, East Anglia, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire and Gloucestershire. Acoustic correlation uses microphones placed at two or more points on a pipe to record the sound of a leak and calculate its location. Tracer gas, a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, is introduced into pipes under low pressure; the hydrogen escapes at the leak point and is detected at the surface. Thermal imaging cameras identify leaks by detecting temperature abnormalities in building structures.
Waterwise Leak Detection has over 35 years in the plumbing industry, including 20 years contracting to a water company. The business is water authority approved and appears on the Watersafe website. Staff are DBS checked. The firm manages the full process from locating and accessing the leak to repairing damage and reinstating the area. Insurance support is provided, including policy review, communication with insurers and claim documentation. The business guides customers through every stage of the insurance process.
