Central heating heating leaks are frequently located beneath floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the single most probable sign of a leaking central heating system, other indicators include water damage or needing to repeatedly bleed radiators.

Our plumbing experts deliver a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The single most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include defective filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers offer a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to discover the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become defective. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to pinpoint 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 inadequate installations. We discover underground water leaks by initially determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection approach is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks frequently arise 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 inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers identify leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks happen in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration appears where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our very skilled roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework inside walls, under 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 locate leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Stop further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks develop 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 under pressure so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage engineer offers a complete inspection to discover the cause of the leak and is generally able to carry out a repair on the same day.
