Leak Detection & Pipe Maintenance Ballsbridge Dublin 4
Non-invasive leak detection for properties along Serpentine Avenue, Clyde Road and around Herbert Park.
Hidden leaks and ageing pipework are common in many Ballsbridge properties, particularly along Serpentine Avenue, Clyde Road, Shrewsbury Road and the quieter residential streets surrounding Herbert Park. Our leak detection service uses non-invasive techniques to locate water leaks without unnecessary damage to walls, floors or ceilings.
We regularly assist homeowners and property managers near Pembroke Road, Anglesea Road and Embassy Road where underground or concealed leaks can cause rising damp, mould or unexplained water bills. In addition to pinpointing leaks, we provide preventative pipe maintenance to reduce the risk of future issues.
Our service extends beyond Ballsbridge to nearby areas such as Donnybrook, Sandymount, Ringsend and Dublin Docklands, making us a reliable choice for both residential and commercial leak detection across South Dublin.
