Top Leak Detection related questions
Costs vary when booking moisture leak detectors. This may depend on how severe the leak is. Generally, you can expect prices to fall between £550 and £1,200. Using tracer gas to detect leaks can bring your total costs even higher.
There are basic checks you can do for DIY leak detection, such as monitoring your water meter. However, working with an expert with years of proven experience helps ensure a more accurate detection.
You can trust that Taskers will always prioritise non-invasive methods, although there may be some cases when digging will be required to access the leak. Inform your Tasker if you’d like to keep disruptions at a minimum so they can come up with possible compromises.
Absolutely! Catching leaks early on prevents you from having to spend a lot on repairing structural damage. It also allows you to keep your property intact for more years to come.
This is on a case-by-case basis. If your Tasker will perform tests like tracer gas leak detection, you may have to turn off the water temporarily. Discuss this with your Tasker to get expert advice on how to prepare ahead of time.
Small leaks may seem harmless, but they can quickly escalate and cause extensive damage and even mould. If you ignore them, you may end up with more repair work than what’s initially necessary. (If this does happen to you, feel free to book a mould removal expert on Airtasker!)
It’s best to work with professionals when drying your property. You can ask your moisture leak detector if they offer this as an additional service or if they can recommend specialists who use industrial dehumidifiers and issue certificates of dryness.

What do leak detection services include?
To keep your home safe from water damage, it's crucial to work with expert moisture leak detectors for a thorough job. Some leak sources can be difficult to locate, especially when using minimally invasive procedures that enable you to preserve your home's integrity.Â
By booking a leak detection service on Airtasker, you can enjoy the following:
Site assessment
Every leak detection process begins by thoroughly assessing your property. Taskers will identify areas most likely to have a leak (a step also called prelocation) by checking for visible signs like damp walls, blistered plaster, or pooling water outside. You can also expect them to perform advanced inspections, such as monitoring the water meter for unseen leaks, provide you with further insights and help them plan the next steps.
Advanced leak detection
The goal of moisture leak detectors is to locate and repair leaks without any unnecessary damage to your property. They do this by using tools like thermal imaging, inspection cameras, ground listening devices, and acoustic sensors to quickly identify possible leak areas and confirm where the leak exactly is. If at all required, tracer gas (usually helium) can be used to track stubborn leaks.
Detailed reporting
Once the leak is detected, your hired moisture leak detector will provide a detailed report. This report includes images and recommendations on how to move forward. They will walk you through your options based on the findings — whether you'll need extensive repairs or minor fixes will suffice.Â
If the source of leaks turns out to be significant damage on your roof, fascia, or downpipe, you can work directly with a specialist to make the necessary repairs or replacements to these key parts of your home. Leaks can also be caused by a faulty hot water system. If this proves to be the case, you can book a Tasker specialising in this area.
Post-repair restoration
Following the repair, your Tasker can offer additional support such as water damage remediation and industrial drying. Feel free to inquire about these services in advance to ensure you hire an expert who can accommodate these extra steps for long-term protection.

Diagnose & fix intermittent bath leak + fill/level damp wall
£150
Chadwell Heath, Greater London
21st Feb 2026
I have an intermittent water leak coming from under/around my bathtub. It only happens occasionally, but it has caused dripping into the flat below. The outer wall of the toilet/bathroom area is also getting moist. What I need: Diagnose the source of the leak (bath waste/overflow/trap, tap/supply connections, or failed sealant). Repair/replace any faulty parts and reseal where needed. Water-test after repair to confirm the leak has stopped. Wall repair: I removed the paint completely from the damp area. Please apply filler to level/smooth the wall. (I will paint it white later.) Access note: The bath is fitted tight to the wall with filler/finishing. It’s possible the bath panel/bath may need to be loosened or partially removed to access pipework—please confirm if you can do this.

Mixer Tap Leaking in Kitchen (Cartridge Replacement)
£115
Shacklewell, Greater London
3rd Feb 2026
Issue: Kitchen mixer tap leaking from the gap between the hot/cold handle. The water dribbles down the shaft when in use. No flooding, the tap is still usable for now, but needs dealing with. Thoughts:likely a cartridge replacement or issue with sealing. I'd rather not replace the whole tap, but you'll do a diagnosis first and we'll discuss. Hopefully, it's a short one-and-done job: There's a Screwfix and a Toolstation nearby. If after diagnosis, the right part is available, I can nip off and buy it. Or, I can purchase one from you if you carry spares... Budget is for labour if this is the kind of job we're looking at... I'll cover you for parking vouchers during your visit as needed.

I dismantled the pipes under my sink after fitting everything back together there is a leak. Specifically the leak is between the top of the ubend and the exit pipe. The problem is that the end of the ubend has a screw nut and the exit pipe is just a flat pipe so the connection isn’t tight enough

Fix a leaking bottle trap

Need a leaking bottle trap under sink fixed. Reattach or replace. Very short on space
Really happy I found Silva. He’s clearly very talented and skilled. What was thought to be a simple task of replacing a bottle trap, turned into a complicated job because of the structure and placement of my pipe work. Silva went the extra mile to disconnect and re attach the pipe and guided me on what he thought was best & not the easiest for him. Really pleased I’ve found him!! I’ve already booked him in for more work. Highly recommend!!
