When Do You Need Leak Detection?
Hidden leaks can cause serious structural and financial damage if left untreated. Watch for these signals.
Sudden Bill Spike
Your water bill increased unexpectedly without a change in usage habits.
Running Water Sound
You hear water running inside walls or underground but can't see any leak.
Pressure Drop
Water pressure drops unexpectedly or inconsistently at fixtures.
Damp Spot or Cracks
Moisture stains, damp patches, or hairline cracks appear on walls or floors.
Meter still moves
All valves are closed but your water meter continues to register flow.
Don't Guess
Breaking floors without knowing the exact location causes unnecessary cost and damage. Detect first.

Insurance coverage
Your Insurance May Cover this
Many home and property insurance policies include coverage for hidden water leak detection and related damage. If you have insurance, you may be entitled to have your costs partially or fully reimbursed — don't pay out of pocket before checking your policy.
1. Check Your Policy
Contact your insurer or review your home/property policy for "hidden water leak" or "pipe burst" coverage.
2. Book Leak Detection
We locate the leak accurately using professional equipment — fully documented for your insurer.
3. Receive Official Report
We provide a professional PDF report (Afl. 75) detailing findings, methods used, and leak location — accepted for insurance submissions.
4. Submit Your Claim
Use our report to submit your claim and potentially recover detection and repair costs from your insurer.
Coverage varies by policy and insurer. We recommend confirming your coverage before booking. AWATEC provides the documentation — claim approval is between you and your insurance provider.
The Detection Process
Every plumbing system is different. Our process adapts to pipe material, depth, layout, and accessibility.
1
Initial Assessment & System Review
Visual inspection of the plumbing system, review of reported issues, and evaluation of accessible fixtures, valves, and pipe routes to understand the system layout.
2
Pressure Testing & Flow Verification
Pressure testing and water flow checks confirm whether a leak is present and determine if it is active, intermittent, or pressure-related.
If the leak cannot be narrowed down through pressure testing alone, further isolation may be required.
3
System Isolation & Pipe Tracing
When necessary, sections of the plumbing system are isolated to narrow down the leak location — including pipe tracing, identifying valves, and temporarily isolating sections to improve accuracy.
Client approval is always required before any isolation work proceeds.
4
Targeted Leak Detection
Using the most appropriate method — acoustic detection microphones, helium tracer gas, or other specialized tools — we focus on the isolated area to pinpoint the leak as precisely as possible.
5
Findings & Recommendations
Once the leak is located, we explain findings clearly and provide repair options. Repairs are quoted separately and only proceed with your approval.
Repairs and restoration are not included unless separately quoted and approved.
METHOD
Non-invasive acoustic & tracer gas
GOAL
Pinpoint exact leak location before repair

Leak Detection – What You Need to Know
To accurately locate a leak, it is often necessary to isolate sections of the plumbing system.
Isolation allows us to narrow down the affected area, eliminate false readings, and significantly improve accuracy.
Without isolation, leak signals can travel through connected lines and make precise location difficult.
Pipe tracing helps us determine the exact route of water lines, especially in properties where the plumbing layout is unknown or undocumented.
By tracing the pipe route, we can better understand how the system is connected, identify isolation points, and focus detection efforts on the correct area.
In some cases, limited opening of floors, walls, or concrete may be required to access pipes or create isolation points.
This is not always necessary and will only be recommended when it improves accuracy or access.
Any digging or breaking will always be discussed with you first and requires your approval before proceeding.
Some properties do not have isolation valves for individual pipe sections.
Installing temporary or permanent valves allows us to isolate specific lines, reduce the detection area, and increase accuracy.
Valve installation is only recommended when it benefits the detection process and is approved by the client.
No. Helium is a precision tool used when required, not automatically on every job.
Whenever possible, we first rely on isolation, pressure testing, acoustic detection, and pipe tracing.
Proper isolation and access often reduce the need for helium while improving accuracy.
Yes.
If additional steps such as isolation, pipe tracing, valve installation, or access work are recommended, you will be informed on-site and asked for approval before any additional work begins.
Leak detection is a diagnostic service only.
Repairs and restoration (tiles, concrete, walls, finishes) are not included unless quoted and approved separately.
Don’t Guess.
Detect First.
Locate the problem accurately before any repair begins. Save time, money, and unnecessary damage with professional leak detection in Aruba.
