How long does it take to find a leak?
In most homes, a single visit. The difficult cases are old buried installations and communal areas with several branches; there a second visit may be needed, and we tell you that beforehand, not afterwards.
Do you have to break something?
Not to find it. To repair it, usually yes at one point, because the pipe is where the pipe is. The difference is opening a hand's width knowing where, or opening blind.
Is tracer gas dangerous, or does it leave a smell?
No. It is an inert gas, non-toxic and non-flammable in the mixture used, and it disperses by itself. You can carry on living in the house.
Does it work for pools, irrigation and buried pipes?
Yes — that is exactly where it earns its keep: under floors, in gardens and in buried installations where there is nothing to see.
Will my insurance pay for finding the leak?
Often, yes. Many home policies cover locating the source of water damage — the cover a British policy calls trace and access — even when replacing the pipe itself is dealt with separately. Ask your insurer; we give you the written quote so you can ask with a figure in front of you.
Do you work with communities and managing agents?
Yes, with a photographic report for the committee or the insurer, and a single point of contact for the whole south.
Which areas?
Arona, Los Cristianos, Adeje, Costa Adeje, San Miguel, Granadilla, El Médano, Guía de Isora and the rest of the south, from Masca to Las Eras.
