Maybe you are wondering if you can claim back the cost of Trace and Access for your leak from your home insurance company. This can be done under your buildings insurance or home insurance policy.
Trace and Access is typically included in most house insurance policies. It covers the cost of non-invasive leak detection to locate the leak and access it. However, it generally does not cover the cost of necessary repairs. On the other hand, it usually covers the costs of remedial works after a successful leak repair has been carried out.
You may not realize that you have Trace and Access cover without specifically asking your home insurance company or checking through your policy schedule to look for it.
Each home insurance company has different terms and conditions regarding Trace and Access. Therefore, it is always recommended to call them and confirm what they will and will not cover. You can find this service under your home or buildings insurance.
Our team consists of fully qualified and experienced engineers who can not only locate the source of your leak, but in most cases, they can also repair any leaking pipework, both internally and externally. In some cases, they can even complete the repairs on the same day.
Not many local plumbers in Maidenhead have the necessary tools or experience to successfully track a hidden water leak under the floor. Here at ADI Leak Detection, our team consists of qualified plumbing and heating engineers who are equipped with specialist leak detection technology. We combine our engineering experience with this specialist equipment to methodically trace your leak.
Traditional excavation to trace a leak can cause damage that may not be covered by many customers’ insurance policies. It’s likely that you wouldn’t want this method used in your home either!
Trace and access leak detection costs typically start at £495, depending on the specific issue we are addressing (such as a water mains leak, central heating leak, or cold/hot feed pipe leak) and the size of your property. We have a network of dedicated trace and access engineers located throughout the UK, ensuring that one of our engineers is always nearby. If your policy covers it, you can claim reimbursement for our fees for tracing and accessing through our comprehensive and insurance-approved reporting.
Most home insurance policies that include Trace and Access coverage will typically cover underground leaks on all pipework up to the boundary.

Once that's done, it's time to introduce the oh-so-safe and non-toxic tracer gases. These incredible gases consist of a delightful blend: 95% Nitrogen and 5% Hydrogen. And here's the best part - they have a sneaky way of escaping the pipework exactly where the leak is hiding. As they make their grand escape, they rise to the surface, gracefully maneuvering through almost any material. But fear not, because our trusty sniffing devices are always ready to locate them in a jiffy. It's like a game of hide and seek, but for grown-up engineers. Exciting, isn't it?
