Central Heating Leaks

Central heating heating leaks are often buried below floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the most likely indicator of a leaking central heating system, additional indicators include water damage or having to often bleed radiators. Our specialists locate the origin of heating leaks, no matter the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing technicians provide a immediate central heating leak repair service.

Pool Leaks

Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is broken pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include worn filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers supply a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to detect the source of swimming pool leaks

Mains Water Leaks

Water supply leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The single most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become worn. Our experts conduct a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.

Underground Water Leaks

Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We identify underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection method is used to identify the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.

Underfloor Pipe Heating Leaks

Under-floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include damaged pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our specialists locate leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.

Structural Building Leaks

Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.

Tile Leaks

Roof leaks range from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely qualified roof leak investigation professionals.

Bathroom Leaks

Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, underneath 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 specialists identify leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!

Drain Leaks

Drainage leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV surveys inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage engineer provides a full inspection to discover the cause of the leak and are generally able to execute a repair on the same day.

Frequently Asked Questions - Leak Detection in Catford

Do you guarantee you will find my leak?

No leak detection company can guarantee locating all leak. That said, we deliver a No find-No fee service for water main leaks on individual properties where the main lines are below 30 meters long and losing over 30 litres per hour.

Will leak detection damage my property?

No.. Our non destructive leak detection methods won't damage your property. In some cases, we may need to drill a tiny 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. Whatever the leak's location, minor damage could be necessary to access and repair it.

Will you shut off the water during leak detection?

We typically won't need to isolate your water supply during leak investigations. However, we may need to isolate the stopcock for a short while when carrying out repairs.

How long does leak detection take to detect a leak?

Leak detection normally takes between a few hours and a full day or beyond. The time needed to discover the leak source depends on the type of leak, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Will you mend my leak?

Yes. We will repair plumbing leaks on the same day as detection, provided our engineer has adequate time after finding the leak. Repair charges apply separately.

Can you aid me with my insurance claim?

Yes. We deliver insurance-approved reports for insurance claim purposes. If your home insurance contains "Trace and Access" coverage, you can reclaim the leak detection costs.
