Leak Detection Services

Advanced non-invasive leak detection using thermal imaging, acoustic sensors, and electronic testing — pinpointing leaks without hacking.

Our Expertise

Precision Leak Detection in Singapore

Water leaks can cause devastating damage to your property if left undetected. At Rf Waterprofing Construction, we use state-of-the-art technology to locate leaks quickly and accurately — without destructive hacking. Our BCA-registered specialists have diagnosed and resolved thousands of leak cases across HDB flats, condominiums, landed homes, and commercial buildings island-wide.

How We Detect

Our Detection Methods

01

Our most popular method — trusted by management corporations across Singapore for detecting concealed pipe leaks.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Using sensitive ground microphones and acoustic sensors to listen for the sound of water escaping from pressurised pipes underground or within walls. Highly effective for pinpointing hidden leaks without any demolition.

02

The fastest way to survey large areas. One scan reveals moisture patterns across entire walls and ceilings.

Thermal Imaging (Infrared)

Advanced infrared cameras detect temperature variations caused by moisture behind walls, ceilings, and floors. This non-contact method reveals hidden damp areas and water trails invisible to the naked eye.

03

Essential for post-waterproofing quality assurance and verifying membrane integrity on new builds.

Electronic Leak Detection

Specialised electronic equipment sends low-voltage signals across waterproof membranes to detect breaches. Ideal for flat roofs, balconies, and wet areas where membrane integrity is critical.

Techniques

Specialised Testing Methods

Tracer Gas Detection

A safe, non-toxic gas (hydrogen-nitrogen mix) is introduced into pipes. Sensors detect the gas escaping at the leak point, even through concrete and soil.

Moisture Meter Scanning

Professional-grade moisture meters measure dampness levels in walls, floors, and ceilings to map the extent of water damage and trace the source.

Pressure Testing

Pipes are pressurised and monitored for pressure drops, confirming the presence and approximate location of leaks in supply or drainage lines.

CCTV Pipe Inspection

Miniature waterproof cameras are inserted into drain pipes to visually inspect for cracks, blockages, root intrusion, and joint failures.

Flood Testing

Controlled flooding of wet areas like bathrooms and balconies to observe water migration and confirm waterproofing membrane failures.

Dye Testing

Non-staining fluorescent dye is introduced into suspected areas to trace water flow paths and confirm leak entry points with UV light.

Signs You May Have a Leak

Watch out for these warning signs in your property

Water stains on ceilings or walls

Peeling or bubbling paint

Musty or mouldy odours

Damp or wet patches on floors

Unexplained increase in water bills

Sound of running water when taps are off

Mould or mildew growth

Cracking or efflorescence on concrete

Frequently Asked Questions

How accurate is leak detection without hacking?

Our non-invasive methods are over 95% accurate. Using a combination of acoustic, thermal, and electronic detection, we can pinpoint leaks within centimetres — saving you from unnecessary hacking and repair costs.

A standard residential inspection typically takes 1–3 hours depending on the property size and complexity of the issue. Commercial properties may require half to a full day.

Yes. Our acoustic and tracer gas methods can detect leaks in pipes buried under concrete, within walls, or above false ceilings — all without any demolition work.

Turn off your main water supply if the leak is severe, document any visible damage with photos, and contact us immediately for an emergency inspection. Early detection prevents costly structural damage.

Yes. Every inspection includes a detailed diagnostic report with thermal images, moisture readings, identified leak locations, and recommended repair solutions with cost estimates.
