Leak detection Amsterdam
A damp patch on the wall, loss of pressure in the central heating, or a water bill that makes no sense? Our specialized leak detection team locates the leak without unnecessary hacking and breaking. And unlike with a leak detection agency, you won't need to look for a plumber afterward: we repair the pipe ourselves.
Tracing and repairing by the same company
Most companies offering leak detection only perform the investigation. You are told where the leak is located, and then you have to arrange for a plumber yourself to open it up and repair it. Two parties, two agreements, and a discussion about who is responsible for what.
With us, things work differently. We have a specialized team for detecting leaks in pipes behind walls, above ceilings, and under floors. As soon as that team has found the leak, another of our teams takes over the repair or replacement of the damaged pipe. The investigation and the repair are therefore handled by a single company.
Before anything is opened, we discuss with you what work is required and whether walls, ceilings, or floors need to be opened. You will not find out about this afterwards.
How do you notice a hidden leak?
A leak behind a wall or under a floor often manifests indirectly. These signs indicate it:
- Damp patches on walls or ceilings
- Peeling plaster or wallpaper
- Mold formation
- An unexpectedly high water bill
- Pressure loss in the central heating system
- A floor that feels damp or warm in places
- A musty smell without a clear source
- Water visibly dripping down
Loss of pressure in the central heating system is a signal that is often dismissed for too long as “just top it up”. If you have to top it up every few weeks, that water is disappearing somewhere.

Good experience with BennyCV. Ben took the time to thoroughly assess the existing installation on-site and provided substantive input regarding the various options, including complete replacement and a hybrid solution. Ultimately, I chose an Intergas Xtreme 36. The quote was clear, complete, and competitively priced, including flue gas exhaust, modified pipework, and other necessary work. The existing Itho Daalderop Solior solar boiler was also included in the assessment and correctly reintegrated into the installation. Communication was smooth, agreements were honored, and the installation was executed neatly. What I particularly appreciated was that they looked not only at the boiler itself, but at the installation as a whole and at what was actually technically and economically sensible. Very satisfied with the result.
I had an issue with my boiler. Had a call over WhatsApp and appointment very quickly. Technician who came home already carried a replacement part and fixed the problem very professionally. Very happy with the service.
This is how we trace the leak.
Step 1: We first determine what type of leak it is. The method depends on the type of pipe, the suspected location of the leak, and the construction of the home. There is no standard approach that works everywhere.
Step 2: Measure instead of guess. Our team uses suitable leak detection equipment to determine the location as accurately as possible. The goal is always the same: to open up as little as possible.
Step 3: You will be told what is needed before anything opens. We discuss the findings, what the repair entails, and whether walls, ceilings, or floors need to be opened.
Step 4: We also repair the pipe. Upon your approval, our installation team will replace or repair the damaged pipe. You do not need to engage another company for this.
Frequently asked questions about leak detection
That is precisely what we try to prevent. Our team uses leak detection equipment to determine the location as accurately as possible, so that opening only needs to be done where it is truly necessary. The method we use depends on the type of piping and the construction of the home.
Yes. After our leak detection team has located the leak, another specialized team of ours takes over the repair or replacement of the pipe. Investigation and repair are handled by a single company.
That varies by policy. Many buildings insurance policies cover the costs of locating a hidden leak and the subsequent structural repair work, but the terms and conditions vary. We provide the investigation data so that you can submit it to your insurer.
Yes. Our team works in both residential and commercial properties.
A damp spot is the visible endpoint of something that starts further down the line. By the time you see it on the wall, water has usually been running there for quite some time. What you see is plasterwork; what you don't see is what the water hit along the way. We would rather deal with a small spot than a ceiling that needs to be removed.
How much does leak detection cost in Amsterdam?
The costs depend on the type of pipe, accessibility, and the size of the area to be searched. After the inspection, you will know where the leak is located and what the repair will cost. You will receive a fixed price in writing for the repair, and you pay what is stated in the quotation.
