Central heating heating leaks are usually hidden below floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the most typical signal of a leaking central heating system, more indicators include water damage or having to repeatedly bleed radiators. Our engineers discover the cause of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers give a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks come from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, more causes include loose filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Qualified divers provide a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the source of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can manifest as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become worn. Our professionals perform a water meter leak test to establish whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are below the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection technique is used to locate 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 underfloor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our engineers detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a substantial flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our very qualified roof leak investigation professionals.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework inside walls, beneath 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 engineers locate leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Eliminate further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, broken seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV inspections inside the pipe. Our drainage engineer provide a complete inspection to discover the cause of the leak and are usually able to undertake a repair on the same day.
