Nice is a city of stunning contrasts — Belle Époque buildings lining the Promenade des Anglais, hillside villas in Cimiez, and tightly packed apartment blocks in Libération and Riquier. Beneath the sun-drenched façades, however, ageing plumbing networks can conceal slow leaks that quietly cause serious structural damage. Whether you manage a co-ownership in Centre-ville, own a flat near the Marché du Cours Saleya in Vieux Nice, or run a business in the port area, a hidden water leak left undetected can mean skyrocketing water bills, damp walls, and costly repairs. Adopte Un Plombier brings certified leak detection expertise directly to your door anywhere in Nice, day or night, with no unnecessary disruption to your property.
Recherche de fuite : detailed service
Leak detection is a highly technical discipline that goes far beyond simply looking for a dripping tap. At Adopte Un Plombier, our certified plumbers use a combination of cutting-edge non-invasive technologies to pinpoint leaks with precision before any excavation or wall opening is considered. Our core detection methods include acoustic listening devices that pick up the distinct sound frequency of pressurised water escaping through a pipe joint or micro-crack — even through the thick stone walls found in many Vieux Nice and Cimiez buildings. We also deploy thermal imaging cameras that reveal temperature differentials caused by moisture hidden behind tiles, plasterwork, or under screed floors — a common issue in the older apartment buildings around Magnan and Pasteur. For more complex cases, particularly in multi-storey co-ownerships or commercial properties, we use tracer gas injection (a safe hydrogen-nitrogen mix). The gas escapes from the leak point and rises to the surface, detected by a sensitive probe — all without breaking a single tile unnecessarily. We cover all types of leak scenarios: domestic water supply pipes, underfloor heating circuits, buried garden irrigation lines, swimming pool pipework (common in Mont Boron and Fabron villas), waste pipes, and shared building risers. Once the leak is precisely located, we provide a clear written diagnosis and a transparent repair estimate. Our team can carry out immediate repairs on the spot in most cases, or schedule a follow-up intervention with full material guarantees. We work in strict compliance with French plumbing regulations and insurance requirements, which is essential when filing a claim with your assurance habitation.
