Our plumbing technicians provide 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 most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers supply a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to identify the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become defective. Our professionals carry out a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection method is used to identify the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our experts identify leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework within walls, beneath 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 engineers discover leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks arise on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, damaged 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 drainpipe. Our drainage engineer carries out a detailed inspection to find the cause of the leak and are normally able to carry out a repair on the same day.
