EXCELLENT Based on 16 reviews Posted on Jane KeanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I fortunately didn't use Brett/Vortex service but he was incredibly helpful and informative. He was prepared to go the extra mile to help me and I'd thoroughly recommend Brett/Vortex if you encounter a leak.Posted on Richard WiggsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Highly recommend Brett and Vortex. Service is really excellent, Brett listens well and understands, managing the issue at hand as well as the nervousness and concerns of the home owner. Used a variety of techniques and was with us all day, also working with neighbours and using his time to advise them. Many thanks Brett, RichardPosted on Paul N.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brett was awesome. Our whole experience with Vortex Leak Detection was great. Everything from the professional and experienced discussion prior to the actual investigation through the detailed and thorough reporting. Thank you again! Highly recommended!Posted on Zohar DanskyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had a stressful water leak in our house and needed an expert in water leak detection. After calling a few companies, I spoke with Brett and was immediately impressed by his knowledge and professionalism – something that wasn't consistent with other companies I contacted. Brett took the time to explain the process, helping me understand the importance of specific detection methods and whether they were intrusive or non-intrusive. This was incredibly helpful as I had no prior experience with this kind of issue. We were so grateful when Brett was able to fit us in the very next day after finishing another job. When he arrived, Brett meticulously went to work, employing several methods, including gas tracing. Our floor structure with the underfloor heating, made it a particularly tricky situation, but after a few hours of diligent work, he managed to pinpoint the exact location of the leak to an astonishingly small 10x10 cm square! When the tiles were lifted (completely un damaged!), it confirmed he was absolutely spot on. Although he didn't have the specific pipe size to fix the leak himself (which was understandable), he did offer to help. What truly highlighted Brett's skill was when our plumber arrived to do the repair. The plumber was so impressed by the accuracy of Brett's detection that he asked for his details for future jobs, commenting on how lucky we are the leak was found, and how difficult it is to find good tracers. We were incredibly impressed with Brett's service, especially since there was no guarantee he'd even be able to locate the leak. He turned a stressful situation into a manageable one with his expertise and dedication. If you're dealing with a water leak, I wholeheartedly recommend Brett – you won't be disappointed, he did an amazing work for us!Posted on Bill MaynardTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brett of Vortex Leak Detection was an absolute pleasure to deal with and a real expert in his trade. We had a tricky leak to find and he never gave up, using all his clever methods pluss pure determination to source the issue so we can proceed with an insurance claim. Absolute gem of a person and service. Highly recommended.Posted on Leak ShieldTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used vortex to help find a leak in a customers home who noticed that their bills had increased dramatically. Vortex arrived as agreed and found the leak the same day under the garage floor using their gas tracing gear which was very impressive and reliable, to help locate and pin point the area the leak is occurring. Brett was very friendly and helpful and an expert at his craft. We will defiantly use again and won't hesitate to recommend in the future. Thanks AlexPosted on JAMES HAWKESTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If only I could give more stars!!! This guy is an absolute genius and honestly worth every penny he may ask for. I had a leak that had damaged three properties and it was nowhere to be found. Vortex were hired to find the leak and access it. Brett arrived and from minute one was extremely polite and professional. Using an impressive array of diagnostic equipment and years of experience he methodology traced the leak to the source and then began the huge task of going into the floor to locate the leak to its exact location. His efforts and experience got him to within 10cm of the leak itself and then it was just about isolating it until the plumber turned up to do the repair. Without this man, an everyday plumber would have never found the leak. He is a specialist in his own right and it's highly recommended. It's a top bloke and true gentleman.Posted on BARRYTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I contacted Brett, of Vortex Leak Detection Ltd., after finding possible symptoms of Damp beneath my ceramic floor tiles. He visited us today, and carried out a thorough Trace Test, using Thermal Imaging Equipment. He found that we in fact, didn’t have a leak, and that the problem laid elsewhere.. He re-assured , and advised us on how to solve our problem .Thus saving us a large expense. Brett is a very competent, honest and friendly tradesman, who I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending.Posted on John JacksonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brett from Vortex visited the same day evidence appeared of water damage, even though I had only called him in the mid-afternoon. His extremely thorough investigations with endoscopic cameras revealed a leaking connection in the soil stack pipe. Although damage has been caused, it could have been much worse but for Brett's promptness and his tenacity in not giving up until he had traced where the problem was, which took a good two hours. I would recommend Vortex without hesitation.Posted on Theo ClayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Brilliant and honest service from Brett. He gave me a realistic assessment of likely success before we agreed to pay, offered to check with competitors if they had alternative methods, then exceeded all expectations and diligently located the issue and gave great advice for tackling it. Thank you Brett!
