Are you available after hours?

Yes, 24/7. Call-outs outside 9am to 6pm, and on weekends and UAE public holidays, carry an after-hours fee of AED 595 including VAT.

How do I book?

WhatsApp or call +971 52 914 4074 with your emirate, community, what is wet and a few photos. We confirm the service, price and time before we book.

Do I pay if you do not find a leak?

Yes. You are paying for a professional investigation. If there is no leak, our testing proves that, which is often just as valuable, for example when a neighbour or landlord suspects one.

The inspection

Will you break tiles or walls?

No. We locate the leak first with non-invasive equipment so only the small area needed for the repair should be opened.

What equipment do you use?

Thermal imaging cameras, acoustic ground microphones, tracer gas detectors, moisture meters, CCTV drain cameras and pressure testing equipment, chosen to suit the problem.

Do you repair leaks?

We specialise in finding and documenting leaks. Your report gives your plumber, contractor or building maintenance team the exact location and recommended repair.

What is in the report?

Photos, thermal images, readings, the confirmed leak location or cause, and a recommended repair scope, suitable for landlords, building management and insurers.

Apartments and buildings

Water is leaking from the unit above. What should I do?

Tell building management straight away and take photos. We can test the unit above with the owner's and building management's permission and report where the water is coming from.

Do you need building permits?

Some buildings require a work permit or access approval for contractors. Please check with your building management before the visit, or ask us to help coordinate.

Do you work for property managers and owners associations?

Yes. We work with landlords, property managers, owners associations and FM companies, and can set up account terms. Email info@1300findleak.ae.
