Pressure Leak Detection
Protect Your Caravan from Hidden Water Damage
Water leaks are one of the most common and costly issues caravan owners face. The problem is that many leaks remain hidden for months before any visible signs appear. By the time you notice staining, soft walls, or mould, significant damage may already have occurred.
At Wide Bay Caravans, our professional pressure leak detection service helps identify water ingress before it becomes a major repair. Using specialised testing equipment, we can locate leaks around windows, doors, roof fittings, hatches, vents, seals, and external accessories, allowing problems to be addressed early and efficiently.
Why Pressure Leak Detection Matters
Even the smallest leak can cause extensive damage over time. Moisture trapped within walls, ceilings, and flooring can lead to:
- Hidden mould and mildew growth
- Rotting timber frames and structures
- Delamination of caravan walls and panels
- Damage to insulation and internal fittings
- Costly structural repairs
- Potential warranty issues
- Reduced resale value
Early detection allows minor seal repairs to be completed before expensive damage occurs.
How Pressure Leak Detection Works
Our pressure leak detection process involves pressurising the interior of your caravan using specialised equipment. A non-staining leak detection solution is then applied to external seals and potential entry points.
Where air escapes, bubbles form, clearly identifying areas where water may be able to enter. This allows us to accurately pinpoint leaks that may not be visible during a standard visual inspection.
The process is safe, non-invasive, and highly effective for identifying hidden leak paths throughout your caravan.
Common Leak Areas We Check
We thoroughly inspect all common water ingress points, including:
- Roof hatches and skylights
- Windows and window seals
- Entry doors and service hatches
- Roof joints and mouldings
- Solar panel cable entries
- Air conditioner installations
- Antennas and roof accessories
- Front and rear wall joins
- Marker lights and external fittings
When Should You Have a Pressure Leak Test?
We recommend pressure leak testing:
- Annually as part of routine maintenance
- Before purchasing a used caravan
- After severe weather events
- Following roof accessory installations
- Before long trips or extended travel
- If you notice musty odours or signs of moisture
- If your caravan is stored outdoors
