When do you need kitchen leak detection?
If you notice one of these signs in Alwajh, it is a good moment to talk to the team:
- Swollen wood at the bottom of the lower cabinets
- A damp smell behind the washing machine
- Water under the sink after use
The most common causes
- The waste line under the sink — we check this before anything else.
- A common cause: sink and washing-machine connections.
- A hidden supply line in the wall — we check this before anything else.
Tools and methods, and when we use them
| Method | What it helps with | Its role in Alwajh |
|---|---|---|
| Ground microphone and contact listening | The sound of water escaping under pressure in walls and floors | Limits: weaker with background noise and deep lines |
| Pressure test and line isolation | Which line (hot/cold, floor by floor) loses pressure | Limits: needs working valves to isolate lines |
| Moisture meter | How far the wet area spreads behind paint and tiles | Limits: measures the effect, not the source |
How the work is done, step by step
- Visible connections first: Sink, dishwasher and washing-machine hoses are checked.
- Pressure test: The hidden supply line is tested on its own.
- Mapping the wet area: Moisture readings show how far behind the cabinets the water has travelled.
- Recommendation: Repair first, cabinets afterwards.
