Central heating heating leaks are commonly hidden underneath floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler losing water water pressure is the single most likely sign of a leaking central heating system, other signs include water damage or needing to frequently bleed radiators. Our specialists discover the source of heating leaks, no matter the cause or location of the leak using non-destructive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers give a fast central heating leak repair service.
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 split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers offer a SPATA accredited swimming pool leak detection service to find the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water supply line. The single most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply pipe is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become defective. Our professionals perform a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks stem from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are under the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically appear 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 poor maintenance routine. Our specialists discover leaks on underfloor 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, substandard construction or overdue maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slight water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress 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. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally qualified roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath 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 engineers detect 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 appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include split pipes, worn 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 inspections inside the drain pipe. Our drainage engineers offers a complete inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are typically able to complete a repair on the same day.
