Our plumbing engineers provide a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system.

Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become defective. Our professionals do a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection approach is used to identify the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks commonly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a insufficient maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint 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 extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion occurs where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, deteriorating mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older.

Drainage leaks happen on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken 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 investigations inside the drain pipe.
