Central heating heating leaks are usually hidden under floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the most probable sign of a leaking central heating system, further signs include water damage or having to frequently bleed radiators. Our engineers discover the location of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts provide a rapid central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include worn filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers deliver a SPATA approved swimming pool leak detection service to discover the location of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a signal of a leaking water main. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply line is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become compromised. Our engineers complete a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We find underground water leaks by first evaluating which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks often occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, poor installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our experts detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress occurs where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework inside walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include damaged fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection experts find leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Stop further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV inspections inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician provides a complete inspection to discover the cause of the leak and is normally able to carry out a repair on the same day.
