100%"Google helped us find a company to look at a growing mould patch on our bathroom roof. Detect a Leak had an easy to follow website and I filled in the enquiry form and received a response soon after. John came out in person the next day and was polite and professional. He helped pin point the problem so we knew who to approach to get it fixed. Thanks John!"Rating by: Vanessa | Rating posted: 26th Jul | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Jul, 2021Vanessa•26th Jul•More details…

100%"John replied to my email promptly and when we decided to go ahead with the work it was carried out within a week.
John was very thorough, knowledgeable and happy to advise us on any areas of concern.
We had prepared the house for inspection by making all the external walls from the inside accessible to him which saved John time. The inspection took about 3 hours and I was impressed how he methodically tested and photographed all areas.
Once we had paid the account the 38 page report was… emailed within 4-5 days.
We thoroughly recommend Detect a Leak as an efficient and comprehensive procedure."Rating by: LIBBY | Rating posted: 30th May | Contact: John Pope | Job date: May, 2021LIBBY•30th May•More details…

100%"Highly recommended. We engaged John to do a pre-purchase inspection on a potential leaky home. He was incredibly thorough and his combination of practical knowledge, moisture readings and thermal imaging provided us with very useful information allowing us to obtain estimates for work from a builder. Once we knew what may be involved we could do our budgets and make sure it still made sense to buy the property. Would certainly use again in the future."Rating by: Jo | Rating posted: 6th Aug, 2020 | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Jul, 2020Jo•6th Aug, 2020•More details…

88%"John performed a focused examination and provided a likely reason for high moisture readings, and practical solutions. The photos (digital and infrared) are related to the areas being assessed and clearly identify readings and site. This makes a useful adjunct to the builder's report."Rating by: Paul | Rating posted: 11th Jun, 2020 | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Jun, 2020Paul•11th Jun, 2020•More details…

The report was very comprehensive, and covered all the issues I went through with John on site.
While on site, John was doing a lot of explanation on his findings, not just saying what the issue was, but how to rectify it. I found John to be very trustworthy, and a generally nice guy."Rating by: Grant | Rating posted: 15th Feb, 2018 | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Feb, 2018Grant•15th Feb, 2018•More details…

I was grateful that John insisted I be present for the inspection as he pointed out things I needed to be aware of, and gave advice on treatment, maintenance etc as we walked around the property together. It was obvious to me that John is highly experienced and I appreciated his friendly and frank approach. I was very impressed with the quality of the report but for me, it was the time spent on site with… John that really was the most valuable. I have no hesitation in recommending his services to others."Rating by: Anna | Rating posted: 16th Oct, 2017 | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Oct, 2017Anna•16th Oct, 2017•More details…

On one job john found multiple problems in a property that the vendors inspector had completely missed, and their inspector had to go back and re-inspect and confirmed what john had found. John also provided me with enough knowledge to know when to not waste his time and my money on getting an inspection done. All of his feed back is… clear and concise and leaves you a position to make an informed decision."Rating by: Darryl | Rating posted: 1st Aug, 2016 | Contact: John Pope | Job date: Jul, 2016Darryl•1st Aug, 2016•More details…

However, I believe what diferentiates John from others is the wealth of knowledge he brings to his investigations which enables him to interpret the information these measuring methods provide.

100%"Our business is Pet Boarding.Five years back we rebuilt from floor up.In he floor we placed the pipe work for water fed heating and later drilled 250 starters for the block work . Unfortunetly 5 of the 14 zones never worked . John and i came up with a system of pushing a smaller pipe in to the floor pipe and pumping hot water in .Once floor temperature came up we were able to track the first fault. The floor is broken into and pipes exposed ,then the procedure is again done this time pushing… the smaller pipe at the clear end of floor pipe and water forsced in .The end result we now have one zone fixed after finding 3 faults 3 starters .The others were one break one blocked with boiler sludge and two no feed due to lack of pressure.For us this has been a curse not knowing how to fix as i spent countless hours searching ways to track infloor faults.And of course not having all the heating .Thanks John at Detecta Leak for your knowledge and professionalism"Rating by: Anthony | Rating posted: 27th Sep, 2010 | Contact: John | Job date: Sep, 2010Anthony•27th Sep, 2010•More details…
