Common questions about thermal imaging leak detection in Takanini
A: Thermal imaging leak detection uses specialised FLIR infrared cameras that detect temperature differences caused by water leaks. When water escapes from a pipe, it changes the temperature of surrounding materials. Our cameras pick up these variations and display them as colour-mapped images, allowing us to pinpoint the exact location of a leak behind walls, under floors, or beneath concrete in Takanini properties without any invasive investigation.
A: Yes, we specialise in detecting leaks under concrete slabs throughout Takanini and nearby Papakura, Manurewa, and Drury. Many Takanini homes are built on concrete slab foundations, and we use a combination of acoustic leak detection and thermal imaging to locate leaks beneath concrete without breaking up your property. This saves significant time and money compared to exploratory demolition.
A: Yes, we provide comprehensive insurance-approved leak detection reports for Takanini properties. Our reports include thermal images, moisture readings, precise leak location details, and repair recommendations. These reports are accepted by all major insurance companies in New Zealand and help streamline your claim process for water damage repairs.
A: Yes! We provide Network Utility Operator (NUO) reports accepted by Watercare Auckland for claiming refunds on water charges from undetected leaks. Many Takanini property owners have recovered thousands of dollars in water charges after we've detected and documented hidden leaks. We provide all the documentation Watercare requires for your refund claim.
A: Leak detection costs in Takanini typically range from $350-$800 depending on property size and complexity. This includes thermal imaging inspection, moisture testing, and a detailed report. The cost is often recovered through insurance claims or Watercare refunds, and saves significantly more on avoided demolition and reinstatement work. We provide fixed-price quotes upfront with no hidden charges.
A: We offer same-day leak detection services in Takanini for most calls received before midday. For urgent water leaks causing active damage, we provide emergency response and can typically be on-site within 1-2 hours. Our team services Takanini, Papakura, Manurewa, and Drury daily, so we're always nearby and ready to respond.
A: Yes, many of the established homes in Takanini built in the 1970s-1990s have original copper or galvanised steel pipework that deteriorates over time. These older pipes are more susceptible to pinhole leaks, joint failures, and corrosion. Our thermal imaging technology is particularly effective at finding these slow, hidden leaks before they cause major structural damage. We recommend proactive leak inspections for Takanini properties over 20 years old.
