Learn More Contact Us

Protecting the integrity of your property begins with ensuring that your external mechanical services are operating efficiently. One of the most critical aspects of this is leak detection. At RATMON UK & Ireland, we specialise in proactive leak detection solutions that give homeowners peace of mind and protect properties from costly damage.

Why Leak Detection Is Essential

Leak detection involves identifying and locating leaks in systems such as plumbing, heating, and cooling. Even minor leaks can lead to major issues over time, including:

  • Structural Damage – Undetected water leaks can compromise the foundation and structure of your property.
  • Mould and Mildew Growth – Moisture build up promotes mould, which affects indoor air quality and poses health risks.
  • Rising Utility Bills – Small leaks can waste large amounts of water, driving up your monthly bills.

Timely leak detection is not just about preventing inconvenience- it’s about protecting your home, health, and wallet.

Benefits of Early Leak Detection

  1. Prevent Costly Water Damage – Water leaks can damage woodwork, insulation, and your home’s foundation. Catching leaks early prevents widespread deterioration and saves on repair costs.
  2. Lower Utility Costs – Even a small leak can waste thousands of litres of water annually. Leak detection helps you conserve resources and cut utility expenses.
  3. Preserve Property Value – Routine inspections and proactive maintenance ensure that all mechanical systems are functioning optimally, preserving the long-term value of your investment.

Our Leak Detection Process

At RATMON, we combine expert knowledge with cutting-edge technology to deliver accurate, non-invasive leak detection across your external mechanical systems.

Step 1: Initial Property Assessment

Our experienced team starts with a comprehensive inspection to identify systems and areas at risk of leaks, including plumbing, heating, and outdoor mechanical infrastructure.

Step 2: Advanced Detection Tools

We use the latest in leak detection technology, including our patented MSC-1 double-wire sensor cables. These sensors can be discreetly placed under piping, within cable trays, and around other vulnerable areas—ensuring full coverage with minimal disruption.

Step 3: 24/7 Monitoring

Our systems are designed for continuous monitoring, allowing us to detect and alert you to leaks in real-time. This enables swift action and significantly reduces potential damage.

Step 4: Detailed Reporting and Repairs

When a leak is identified, we provide a thorough report detailing the location, cause, and severity. We then develop a targeted action plan to restore your systems to full working condition efficiently.

Key Areas Prone to Leaks

Some parts of your property are more susceptible to leaks. Our experts focus on these high-risk areas:

  • Plumbing Systems – Pipes behind walls and under floors can silently leak, causing significant damage before it becomes visible.
  • Heating & Cooling Systems – Faulty components or aging systems can leak, affecting efficiency and increasing energy use.
  • Roofing & Gutter Systems – Even minor roof leaks can lead to major structural issues if left unaddressed.
  • Basements & Crawl Spaces – These hidden areas are prone to water intrusion and benefit from regular inspections.
