Central heating heating leaks are typically hidden below floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the most typical indicator of a leaking central heating system, more symptoms include water damage or having to constantly bleed radiators. Our experts identify the source of heating leaks, whatever the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts supply a same-day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The single most common cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, further causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers supply a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to detect the location of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a indicator of a leaking water supply line. The single most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become defective. Our technicians conduct a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to track the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our professionals identify leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry happens where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very skilled roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework inside walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include degraded 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, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage expert carries out a detailed inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is normally able to undertake a repair on the same day.
