Central heating heating leaks are typically hidden beneath floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing water pressure is the single most likely signal of a leaking central heating system, other clues include water damage or needing to regularly bleed radiators. Our engineers detect the cause of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts offer a same-day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The most probable cause of a swimming pool leak is split pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers provide a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to find the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water main is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become damaged. Our technicians perform a water meter leak test to determine if the leak is internal or external, then complete a leak detection investigation to detect the leak.
Underground water leaks develop from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We locate underground water leaks by first identifying which pipes are beneath the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection approach is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks regularly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our specialists identify leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team detect leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from gradual water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water entry happens where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, degraded mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally professional roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework behind walls, below 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 engineers pinpoint leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non invasive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks appear on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include fractured pipes, damaged seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A Drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV examinations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician offers a full inspection to detect the cause of the leak and is typically able to carry out a repair on the same day.
