In The Hague maisonettes and upstairs flats, the cause is often not where the stain is. Water runs along beams and pipes and only comes through the ceiling a room further along. Typical sources: a leaking shower drain or sealant joint, a riser pipe leaking at a connection, or a central heating pipe under the floor.
In the pre-war neighbourhoods — Duinoord, the Zeeheldenkwartier, Bezuidenhout — you still find old galvanised or lead pipes that start leaking at the joints. In the new-build areas of Ypenburg and Leidschenveen we more often see leaks at the underfloor heating manifold or at the washing machine connection.
With every leak we work in the same order: first stop the water, then find the source, and only then open up in a targeted way. That saves breaking and demolition work and keeps the bill down. If you suspect a leak you can't see — a water meter that keeps running or a boiler that keeps losing pressure — we deploy leak detection in The Hague.

How we work
One team for detection and repair — so you avoid double costs and unnecessary demolition work.
Telephone consultation
You describe the signs (moisture, smell, meter). We assess urgency and which measurement methods are needed.
Agree fixed price
A fixed price in advance for the detection on location — no hourly billing during measurement.
Measure on site
Thermography, moisture, acoustics, camera or tracer gas — only what the situation requires.
Leak to the centimetre
We mark the source and explain the cause and next step, including photos if desired.
Targeted repair
Optionally repair immediately or a separate appointment — always at least opening up.
When to call?
- Now — Actively dripping water, rapidly growing stain or meter that keeps running.
- Within 24 hours — Musty smell, peeling wallpaper or unexplained high consumption without visible leak.
- Planned — Moisture after previous work or suspected under the floor — prefer to locate before you start demolishing.
Not sure? Call 070 783 0224 — we'll advise you with no obligation.

What exactly is leak detection?
Targeted tracing of where water is escaping — before any hacking or demolition.
Leak detection is the targeted tracing of the exact spot where water is escaping from a pipe, roof, sewer or drain — before any hacking or demolition takes place. Where in the past entire walls and floors had to be opened up to find a leak "somewhere", we first locate the leak to within a centimetre. Only then is repair carried out — surgically and only where it really must be.
The result: less damage, lower repair costs and no unnecessary renovation of your home or business premises.
- Locate first — pinpoint the source before a single tile comes loose.
- Targeted repair — only open up where the leak actually is.
- Clear explanation — you know what the cause is and what the best solution is.
First measure, then repair
No guesswork and no trial trenches. We determine the source with measuring equipment and only then tackle it in a targeted way.
Leak detection without breaking
We combine multiple measurement techniques to reliably locate a leak — depending on where and how the water is moving. Our approach is always: measure first, then repair.
Thermal imaging (thermography)
Temperature differences in wall and floor make the path of a hot or cold water leak visible, without touching anything.
Acoustic detection
Sensitive acoustic equipment "listens" to the sound of water escaping under pressure from a pipe — even behind tiles and under the subfloor.
Moisture measurement
Exact moisture values in materials map the wettest point — and therefore the source — accurately.
Pressure and smoke test
For sewer and drain leaks we test pipes under pressure or with tracer smoke to accurately locate the break.
Camera inspection
An endoscope or sewer camera inspects the inside of pipes and drains without demolition.
Tracer gas detection
For deep or difficult leaks we let a safe tracer gas (forming gas) flow through the pipe. A sensitive detector indicates exactly where it's escaping above the floor — even under a screed floor.
Pipe correlation
Two sensors measure the sound of the leak on either side. From the time difference we calculate the leak position to within a metre — ideal for long, underground water pipes.
Electronic pipe locator
With a pipe and cable locator we map the exact route and depth of pipes. This way we measure precisely and never open up more than necessary.
Clear explanation afterwards
After the measurement, you know where the leak is, what the cause is and what the best repair solution is. No guesswork, no unnecessary breaking.
When do you call in leak detection?
Not sure whether there's a hidden leak? These signs often point to one.
Do you recognise one or more of these signs? Don't wait too long — moisture damage worsens and spreads, and the sooner the source is found, the more limited the repair.
