Central heating heating leaks are frequently hidden underneath floors, inside walls or cavities. A boiler losing water water pressure is the single most typical signal of a leaking central heating system, further symptoms include water damage or having to frequently bleed radiators. Our engineers pinpoint the origin of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers give a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers provide a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to identify the source of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A rising water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most likely 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 worn. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We detect underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection approach is used to pinpoint the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our technicians locate leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry occurs where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally experienced roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection professionals find leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV investigations inside the pipe. Our drainage expert provides a comprehensive inspection to pinpoint the cause of the leak and are normally able to carry out a repair on the same day.
