Common questions about thermal imaging leak detection in Manurewa
A: Thermal imaging leak detection uses specialised FLIR infrared cameras that detect temperature differences caused by water leaks. Water escaping from pipes changes the temperature of surrounding building materials like concrete, timber, and GIB. Our cameras capture these temperature variations and display them as detailed colour-mapped images, allowing us to pinpoint the exact leak location in Manurewa properties without any destructive investigation.
A: Yes, we specialise in under-slab leak detection throughout Manurewa and neighbouring suburbs including Takanini, Manukau, and Papakura. Manurewa has many homes built on concrete slab foundations from the 1960s onwards, and we use acoustic listening equipment combined with thermal imaging to precisely locate leaks beneath concrete without breaking up your floors or driveways.
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive insurance-approved leak detection reports for all Manurewa properties. Our detailed reports include high-resolution thermal images, moisture meter readings, precise leak location mapping, and professional repair recommendations. These reports are accepted by all major New Zealand insurance companies and significantly speed up your claim process.
A: Yes! We provide Network Utility Operator (NUO) reports that Watercare Auckland accepts for claiming refunds on excess water charges caused by undetected leaks. Many Manurewa homeowners have recovered significant amounts in water charges after we documented their hidden leaks. We handle all the paperwork and provide every document Watercare needs for your refund application.
A: Leak detection in Manurewa typically costs between $350-$800 depending on property size and the complexity of the investigation. This includes a full thermal imaging scan, moisture testing, and a comprehensive written report. Most Manurewa clients find the cost is easily recovered through insurance claims or Watercare refunds, plus you avoid expensive exploratory demolition. We always provide a fixed-price quote before starting.
A: We offer same-day leak detection services in Manurewa for most enquiries received before midday. For emergency situations where water is actively leaking and causing damage, we can typically respond within 1-2 hours. Our team operates throughout Manurewa, Takanini, Manukau, and Papakura daily, ensuring fast response times for all leak detection needs.
A: All property types in Manurewa benefit from professional leak detection, but we most commonly service 1960s-1990s era homes with original plumbing, Housing New Zealand properties, and commercial buildings. Manurewa's mix of established residential homes and newer developments means a variety of plumbing systems and potential leak sources. Our thermal imaging technology works effectively on all building types, from weatherboard villas to modern brick and tile construction.
