One of the first questions customers ask is: how much does leak detection cost? The honest answer is that it depends on the case. This article explains what affects the cost so you know what to ask — without made-up numbers.
Factors that affect detection cost
Key factors include:
- Property size: apartment, house, villa or palace
- Number of affected areas and floors
- Whether pipes are visible or concealed
- Access to the roof, tanks and manholes
- Whether it's a supply leak, a drain leak or waterproofing
Detection and repair are different
The detection price covers locating the source; repair and reinstatement are estimated once the findings are known. With us, the detection fee is deducted from the repair cost when we carry out the repair.
How to get a clearer estimate
Send photos of stains or affected areas, when they appeared, any meter readings, and the property type and number of floors. This helps, but it doesn't replace an assessment for the final price.
Watch out for unclear offers
Always ask what the price includes and excludes, and whether repair and finishing are separate. A clear price before starting matters more than a low figure that changes later.
This is general information, not a diagnosis of your home. To identify the cause, contact us to arrange an assessment.
Frequently asked questions
Can the price be known from a photo?
A photo helps give an initial idea, but the price depends on property size, affected areas and access.
