Shower and bathroom leak detection identifies water infiltration behind, beneath, or around wet areas without demolition. These leaks often come from waterproofing failure rather than pipe faults. Water can pass through grout or tiles, saturate the substrate, and travel before appearing in nearby or lower rooms. Accurate moisture mapping helps confirm the source and extent of the problem before repairs begin.
Non-invasive detection for wet areas before tiles or walls are removed.

Shower and bathroom leak detection involves identifying the source and extent of water infiltration behind, beneath, or around bathroom wet areas — without invasive demolition. It's distinct from general plumbing inspection because the problem is usually waterproofing failure rather than a pipe fault.
The challenge is that bathroom leaks are hidden. Water penetrates the grout and tile layer, saturates the substrate, and may travel laterally before surfacing — often in a room below or beside the wet area. Without mapping the leak accurately, a builder who tiles over a failed membrane is simply delaying the next failure.
Tiles are becoming loose or hollow-sounding in the shower or bathroom
Grout lines are cracking, deteriorating, or showing dark discolouration
There's a persistent damp or mouldy smell in or around the bathroom
Water stains are appearing on the ceiling or walls of the room below
Paint is peeling or plaster is bubbling in adjacent walls or ceilings
Your bathroom floor feels soft or spongy when you walk on it
Rust stains are visible around drain outlets or floor waste
Understanding whether you have a plumbing fault or a waterproofing failure saves you from calling the wrong trade, doing unnecessary tile replacement, and — in the worst case — doing a tile-over repair that doesn't address the root cause.
No. We use thermal imaging cameras and moisture meters to map the moisture through the tiles without touching them. In most cases, we can identify the failure point and the extent of water penetration without any physical intervention. Your builder or tiler then opens only the minimum area required for the repair.
This is the most important question — and the one that saves you money. Most shower leaks are waterproofing failures, not plumbing faults. Our report clearly identifies whether the leak is at a pipe fitting or in the waterproof membrane, so you call the right trade.
Often, significant damage has already occurred by the time the leak becomes visible. Water can saturate substrate, rot framing, and grow mould behind tiles for months before any surface sign appears. Early detection results in a smaller, cheaper repair. The longer it's left, the more substrate and potentially structural material needs replacing.
This depends on the extent of the damage — and we can help answer that. If the substrate is sound and only the membrane has failed, a targeted repair and re-waterproof is significantly cheaper than a full renovation. Our report documents the extent of moisture damage so you can make an informed decision.
Yes — this is one of the most common scenarios we deal with. Thermal imaging of the downstairs ceiling reveals the water travel path from above, and our bathroom assessment identifies the source in the wet area upstairs. Both floors are covered in a single inspection.
Waterproofing failures in balconies damage the units below and compromise structural integrity. We pinpoint the breach in membranes or joints, giving owners and building managers clear repair direction and cost estimates.

Infrared cameras reveal hidden moisture, heat loss, and structural issues invisible to the eye. We use this technology alongside acoustic and tracer gas methods to build a complete picture of what's happening in your property.

For single-storey buildings: we locate the source of roof water ingress without pulling apart your ceiling or removing tiles. Thermal imaging reveals moisture paths. Acoustic scanning finds cracks in gutters and valleys. We identify whether the problem is membrane failure, gutter damage, or internal plumbing.
