Central heating heating leaks are commonly hidden under floors, behind walls or cavities. A boiler losing pressure is the most probable sign of a leaking central heating system, further clues include water damage or having to repeatedly bleed radiators. Our specialists identify the location of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing experts offer a fast central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most typical cause of a swimming pool leak is fractured pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include faulty filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Accredited divers offer a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to identify the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated 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 impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to break or fittings to become compromised. Our specialists complete a water meter leak test to identify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to find the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, 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 firstly assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection approach is used to identify the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under floor heating leaks often arise 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 inadequate maintenance routine. Our experts detect leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks develop in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team find leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection systems including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion appears where there are missing tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, inadequate maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely experienced roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks originate from hidden pipework within walls, below the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include degraded fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection specialists detect 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 happen 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 drain system is not under pressure so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage technician provides a comprehensive inspection to find the cause of the leak and are generally able to complete a repair on the same day.
