Diagnosing leaks is often a very complicated business, even if you think you have found the problem, so we aim to make it as clear as possible for our customers.
Diagnosis service includes:-
- UVL Wet Thermo-Fogging using anti-microbial - because mould tends to grow inside wet cars. Surface treatment making the vehicle safe for us to work on and for you to drive away in.
- Leak Detection - Locating the source of the problem using the following techniques: 28 Point Health Check to find all common issues, windscreen check, Fog, Coloured Ink, Sonic Sensors, Moisture Sensors and/or Micro-Cameras.
- Video Report - Taken to document our findings and detail our recommendations. This is emailed/ texted directly to you.
- Free Estimate - Providing you with our breakdown on repairing and drying your vehicle where possible.
A Range Rover came in with what looked like a leaky windscreen -- water flooding in down both sides of the bulkhead. We extracted 20 litres in total. On one side the carpet was soaking wet and obvious. On the other side, it still felt completely dry to the touch -- but there were at least another 10 litres sitting underneath it that the owner had no idea about.

Fixing Water Leaks
Had your diagnosis? The next stage is to repair.
Usually, our customers like to go straight ahead with repairs following on from their reports, but we understand it may be a lot to digest. We have a 2-hour grace period before we have to move onto other jobs, so we really appreciate your efforts to check the report and consent to repairs before this happens.
We aim to get you back on the road as quickly as possible with minimum fuss, but occasionally, we may need to be in touch if your vehicle needs recourse through your windscreen or insurance company to fix the repair. We'll keep you updated.
