Central heating heating leaks are often hidden beneath floors, inside walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the most probable signal of a leaking central heating system, other warnings include water damage or having to regularly bleed radiators. Our professionals identify the origin of heating leaks, no matter the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing technicians supply a same day central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be anywhere on the filtration system. The single most common cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, other causes include worn filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Trained divers supply a SPATA certified swimming pool leak detection service to find the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A increased water bill is a sign of a leaking water mains. The most common location of a water supply leak is outside where the water mains is affected by ground movement which causes pipes to fracture or fittings to become damaged. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then undertake a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks originate from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by initially establishing which pipes are below the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection system is used to trace the source of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks regularly arise on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include degraded pipework, improper installation, damage to the pipes, age or a lacking maintenance routine. Our engineers find 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 settling of building materials, subsidence, defective 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 methods including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a major flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Find the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly skilled roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks develop from hidden pipework inside walls, below the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include damaged fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection engineers find 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, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not under pressure so leak detection technologies are limited to CCTV surveys inside the pipe. Our drainage engineers provide a full inspection to pinpoint the cause of the leak and are usually able to carry out a repair on the same day.
