The hidden leak: Vlorë's most expensive plumbing problem

Thermal leak detection on a bathroom wall in Vlorë

A hidden leak rarely announces itself directly. It shows as a damp patch that keeps growing, paint bubbling off a wall, mould returning no matter how often it is cleaned, or a mysteriously high water bill. In Vlorë's older centre, corroded galvanised pipes inside walls are the usual source; in newer buildings, poorly crimped joints from rushed construction are just as common.

For owners abroad the hidden leak is especially dangerous: it can run for months between visits, and the first person to notice is often the downstairs neighbour. By then the repair includes their ceiling too. An unexplained bill or a damp smell when you open the flat is the moment to call — not the next visit.

How we find a leak without demolishing your home

Thermal imaging shows us the temperature signature of water moving where it should not be; acoustic detection lets us hear the leak through walls and floors. Combined, they locate the problem to within centimetres — the repair then means opening one small, known spot instead of chasing the leak with a hammer.

You receive a written report with photos and thermal images: exactly what you need for an insurance claim, for a dispute with a builder or neighbour, or for your own records before authorising the repair. And since we are plumbers, the same visit can continue straight into the fix — quoted separately, in writing, as always.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ — water leak detection in Vlorë

How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
The classic signs: a damp patch that grows, mould that returns after cleaning, bubbling paint or plaster, the sound of water when everything is off, or a water bill that jumped without explanation. Any one of these justifies a detection visit.
Will you have to break tiles or walls to find the leak?
No — that is the point of thermal and acoustic detection. We locate the leak through the finished surfaces, and only the exact spot of the leak is opened for the repair. Typically one tile, not a wall.
How much does leak detection cost in Vlorë?
Between €80 and €250 depending on the size of the area and whether you need a written report with images for insurance or a dispute. The price is fixed in writing before we start scanning.
Can I use your report for insurance or a dispute with my builder?
Yes. The written report includes photos and thermal images with the leak location documented — exactly the evidence insurers and lawyers ask for. We issue it in writing.
I'm abroad and my tenant reports damp. What happens?
You book by WhatsApp, we coordinate access with your tenant or property manager, perform the detection, and send you the report with photos and the repair quote. You decide from wherever you are.
