Our plumbing technicians supply a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers provide a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The single most probable location of a water mains 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 perform a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection method is used to pinpoint the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our experts locate leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from slow water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration happens where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, faulty 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 assessments inside the drainage pipe.
