Central heating heating leaks are commonly hidden beneath floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the most typical sign of a leaking central heating system, more warnings include water damage or needing to regularly bleed radiators. Our specialists pinpoint the origin of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts supply a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Qualified divers supply a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to discover the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water main. The most probable location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first assessing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to movement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect 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 ingress happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Discover the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly professional roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, under the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include deteriorated fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection technicians pinpoint 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 develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include cracked pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurized so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage engineer delivers a complete inspection to locate the cause of the leak and is usually able to undertake a repair on the same day.
