Our plumbing engineers give a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure.

Water main leaks can present as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The single most common location of a water main leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our technicians complete a water meter leak test to verify whether 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, worn pipes, tree root damage or substandard installations. We locate underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection system is used to locate the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our specialists pinpoint 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our very expert roof leak investigation experts.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection specialists find leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage engineers provides a full inspection to locate the cause of the leak and is normally able to undertake a repair on the same day.
