For Insurers, Loss Adjusters & Assessors

Water Leak Detection Reports for Insurers & Loss Adjusters

We work directly with insurers, loss adjusters, assessors and remedial builders to pinpoint the exact source of water damage — quickly, accurately, and with documentation that stands up to claim review. We locate leaks that desktop assessments and general plumbers miss, using non-invasive diagnostics, and turn findings into a clear scope of works within days, not weeks.

The Difference

Why Insurers Work With Us

Five reasons panel builders, assessors and adjusters return to us for complex and disputed claims.

Claim-Ready Reporting

Every inspection produces a written report with thermal images, video and moisture readings mapped to the exact leak location — formatted for claim assessors and panel builders.

Non-Invasive, Cost-Controlled Diagnosis

Acoustic listening, tracer gas, thermal imaging and pipe locators find the leak before any wall, floor or ceiling is opened — keeping remediation costs down and claims accurate.

Fast Turnaround

Inspections booked within a few business days; reports delivered within 24–48 hours of the inspection — so claims aren't held up waiting on diagnostics.

Independent, Evidence-Based Findings

We report what the technology shows — not what's convenient for either party. That's why panel builders and assessors return to us for disputed or complex claims.

Direct Communication

We liaise directly with the insurer, loss adjuster or their nominated contact, and can join claim calls or provide supplementary evidence on request.

Reports built for the claim file.

Photographic and thermal evidence, leak location, likely cause and a recommended scope of works — everything an assessor or panel builder needs in one document.

Scope of Diagnosis

What We Diagnose for Insurance Claims

Burst or leaking water supply pipes — concealed in walls, slabs and subfloors
Storm and weather-related water ingress
Roof and gutter overflow leaks
Shower, bathroom and wet-area waterproofing failures
Pool and spa leaks affecting adjoining structures
Gradual/ongoing damage vs. sudden event — clear differentiation for claim category
Pre-existing damage vs. new event assessment
Evidence, Not Guesswork

The Diagnostic Evidence That Goes in Every Report

Thermal imaging, tracer testing and moisture mapping capture the leak signature at the source — the same imagery attached to your claim file.

Thermal image showing concealed leak signature behind wall Sydney

Thermal Signature — Concealed Wall Leak

A FLIR thermal capture showing the cool moisture plume of an active concealed leak. The temperature gradient pinpoints the source without opening the wall.

Thermal imaging camera diagnosing ceiling moisture Sydney

Ceiling Moisture Mapping

On-site thermal scanning of a ceiling, tracing the extent and travel path of water ingress — key evidence for distinguishing a sudden event from gradual damage.

Handheld FLIR thermal camera on-site leak assessment Sydney

On-Site Non-Invasive Assessment

A calibrated thermal camera in use during a claim inspection. Findings are logged with temperature readings and location for the written report.

Fluorescent dye tracer test on tiled shower floor Sydney

Wet-Area Waterproofing Test

Tracer testing on a tiled shower base to confirm a waterproofing failure — a frequent source of disputed wet-area claims.

Every finding is documented to the standard a claim review demands.

Thermal images, video, moisture readings, leak location, likely cause and recommended remediation scope — assembled into a single report your assessors and panel builders can act on immediately.

From Referral to Report in Four Steps

A structured claim workflow that keeps the insurer, adjuster and policyholder informed at every stage.

01

Referral or Booking

The insurer, adjuster or policyholder books the inspection; claim number and access details are confirmed up front.

02

On-Site Diagnostic

A full leak investigation using the appropriate combination of acoustic, thermal, tracer gas and moisture-mapping technology.

03

Findings & Report

A written report with photos, video and thermal imagery, leak location, likely cause and recommended remediation scope — delivered within 24–48 hours.

04

Follow-Up Support

Available for clarification, supplementary testing, or coordination with the appointed builder — including joining claim calls on request.

FAQs

Insurance Leak Detection — Common Questions

How long does an insurance leak detection report take?

Most reports are delivered within 24–48 hours of the on-site inspection, with urgent claims prioritised on request.

Do you work directly with loss adjusters and assessors?

Yes — we liaise directly with the insurer, loss adjuster or their nominated representative throughout the claim, and can supply supplementary evidence if requested.

Can you tell if a leak is a sudden event or gradual damage?

Yes. Our diagnostic methods identify the leak source and pattern of water ingress, which helps determine whether damage is consistent with a sudden event or a long-term/gradual leak — a key distinction for claim assessment.

Is the leak detection process invasive?

No. We use acoustic, thermal imaging, tracer gas and moisture-mapping technology to locate leaks without needing to open walls, floors or ceilings first.

Do you provide reports suitable for insurance panel builders?

Yes — our reports are formatted with photographic and thermal evidence, leak location, and a recommended scope of works for use by panel builders and remediation contractors.
