Waterproofing & Leakage
Concealed plumbing leak detection — find it before breaking walls
Pressure testing and systematic tracing to locate hidden pipe leaks, so we open only the wall that needs it.
A damp wall with no rain, a water pump that runs too often, or a tank that empties overnight — these point to a leak inside your concealed plumbing.
Without proper detection, plumbers break wall after wall looking for it. RennovEN isolates and pressure-tests your lines to narrow down the location, so only the right spot is opened.
Signs you need this
- Damp patch on a wall with pipes behind it
- Pump runs more often than usual
- Overhead tank empties unexpectedly
- Sound of running water when taps are closed

Diagnosis
Why it happens
Failed joints
Solvent or threaded joints in concealed lines weaken with age and pressure.
Corroded GI pipes
Galvanised iron pipes rust through from inside.
Damage during drilling
Nails and screws driven into walls sometimes pierce hidden pipes.
