Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Non-destructive water leak detection across Hawick — thermal imaging, acoustic correlation, tracer-gas and moisture-mapping to find a hidden pipe failure without taking up the whole floor. We work directly with insurers (most policies cover the trace-and-access cost), provide a written report with thermal images for your claim, and follow on with the repair so you only deal with one trade rather than three.
Hidden leaks in Hawick usually show first as unexplained pressure-loss, a damp patch on a downstairs ceiling or a water-meter that ticks overnight. We use thermal imaging, acoustic correlation and tracer gas across TD9 properties so the floor only comes up where the leak actually is — saving the wider tile, screed or floorboard run.
Travel from our Kelso base: 45 minutes via the A698.
Every Hawick leak job is documented with thermal images and pressure-test data — useful for insurance claims and for the trades following on behind us.
Step 1
We talk you through the symptoms — pressure-loss, damp patch, meter ticking — to plan the right detection method.
Step 2
Thermal, acoustic or tracer-gas survey. Most leaks pinpointed in 60–90 minutes.
Step 3
Cut-out, fix and pressure-test the affected section. Floor lift kept to the smallest possible area.
Step 4
Written report with thermal images, pressure data and a clear cost breakdown for your insurer.

Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.
A standard non-destructive survey is typically £180–£280. Most home insurance policies cover this 'trace and access' cost — we provide the paperwork your insurer needs to reimburse you.
Only directly above the leak — usually a single tile or one floorboard. The whole point of acoustic and thermal detection is avoiding the wider lift that traditional methods cause.
Most accessible pipe leaks are repaired on the same visit. Underfloor heating leaks may need a return visit if a specialist coupling has to be ordered, but the leak is isolated immediately.
