Protecting Your Property: Why Professional Leak Detection and Drain Unblocking Matters
When it comes to maintaining your home or business, hidden leaks and blocked drains are among the most disruptive and costly problems you can face. What begins as a minor issue—a slow drain, an unexplained damp patch, or a sudden drop in water pressure—can quickly turn into major structural damage, mould growth, and expensive repairs. That’s why early detection and expert intervention are essential.

At Sweeney Property Services Donegal, we specialise in providing fast, accurate, and non-invasive solutions for leak detection, thermal imaging, and underground pipe locating. As a trusted and experienced service provider, we combine advanced technology with years of hands-on expertise to pinpoint leaks and blockages without unnecessary damage or disruption.


The Hidden Dangers of Leaks and Blockages

Leaks don’t always make themselves known. In many cases, water escapes behind walls, under floors, or beneath the ground long before visible signs appear. By the time moisture starts to show, the damage may already be significant.

Blocked drains, too, can escalate quickly—leading to foul odours, slow drainage, overflowing toilets, and even structural damage if left untreated.

Some of the most common consequences include:

  • Damage to walls, floors, and foundations
  • Increased energy bills due to moisture and insulation damage
  • Mould growth, affecting air quality and health
  • Flooding and contamination risks
  • Unexpected repair costs

Early detection helps prevent these issues, giving you peace of mind and saving you money in the long run.


How Our Leak Detection and Pipe Locating Services Work

At Sweeney Property Services, we use non-destructive tools and modern technology to identify issues with precision:

Thermal Imaging

Thermal cameras allow us to detect temperature changes behind walls, ceilings, and floors—revealing hidden leaks and moisture pockets without any invasive work.

Acoustic Leak Detection

Sensitive equipment picks up the sound of water escaping from pipes, helping us pinpoint the exact location of a leak, no matter how small.

Drain Camera Inspections

High-resolution CCTV systems are used to inspect underground drains, identifying cracks, blockages, and root intrusion.

Underground Pipe Locating

We accurately map the path of buried pipes, making repairs safer, faster, and more efficient.

These methods ensure a quick diagnosis, minimal disruption, and a targeted repair plan.


Fast, Accurate, and Insurance-Ready Reports

We understand how stressful water damage can be, especially when insurance claims are involved. That’s why we provide clear, professional reports that outline:

  • The issue detected
  • The precise location
  • Images and data from our diagnostic tools
  • Recommended repair actions

This ensures your insurer has everything they need to process the claim promptly, reducing delays and helping you get repairs underway quickly.
