Water Leak Detection & Repair

Water leak detection is a complex process requiring specialist diagnostic equipment. Finding a hidden leak — inside a wall, floor or ceiling — without professional help often means breaking open structures and incurring major extra costs. PainePesu water leak detection in Tallinn is non-invasive — we pinpoint the exact location of a leak without damaging building structures.

How Does a Hidden Water Leak Show Up?

Signs of a hidden water leak: the water meter keeps turning when all taps are closed; brown stains appear on walls or ceilings; wallpaper peels due to moisture; the floor makes a hollow sound when walked on; indoor humidity is high; neighbours hear the sound of dripping water. Sometimes the leak is so small that water bills increase gradually — only meter readings confirm the leak.

Leak Detection Methods

PainePesu uses modern non-invasive methods for water leak detection. Thermal camera diagnostics is the primary tool — it reveals temperature differences in walls and floors caused by water movement. Pressure testing: we isolate pipe sections and measure pressure drop — this shows precisely which section contains the leak. Acoustic leak sensors detect the sound of dripping water inside pipe walls. Combining these methods allows precise leak location mapping.

Fast Leak Repair

After locating the leak, PainePesu provides fast repair. Depending on the type and location, we either repair the pipe in place (spot repair) or replace the damaged section. All repair work is carried out with minimal structural disruption. We carry out a pressure test after repair to confirm leak-free status.

Preventing Water Damage

Early detection is critical — a long-running hidden leak can cause foundation moisture, mould growth, damage to electrical cables and structural instability. We recommend that all property owners who notice an unexpected rise in water bills have their pipework checked immediately.
