Central Heating Leaks

Central heating heating leaks are typically located under floors, behind walls or cavities.

Swimming Pool Leaks

Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be found 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, further causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Qualified divers offer a SPATA approved swimming pool leak detection service to pinpoint the source of swimming pool leaks

Mains Water Leaks

Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a indicator of a leaking water mains. The most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water supply line is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to rupture or fittings to become worn. Our experts do a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.

Below Ground Water Leaks

Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, degraded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by first determining which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection approach is used to find the origin of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.

Underfloor Heating Leaks

Underfloor heating leaks typically develop on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include corroded pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers discover leaks on under floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.

Building Structure Leaks

Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, substandard construction or lacking maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team locate leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection technologies including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.

Tile Leaks

Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, substandard construction, poor maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Locate the source of your roof leak by choosing our very professional roof leak investigation specialists.

Bath Leaks

Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, under 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 experts 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!

Drain Leaks

Drainage leaks develop on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include broken pipes, deteriorated 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 drainpipe.

Common Questions - Leak Detection in Gillingham

Do you guarantee you will find my leak?

Not a single leak detection company can guarantee finding every leak. Nevertheless, we offer a No find-No fee service for water supply leaks on individual properties where the supply lines are shorter than 30 metres long and losing more than 30 litres per hour.

Will finding the leak damage my property?

No. Our non-destructive leak detection methods will not damage your property. On occasion, we may need to drill a tiny 5mm hole into a cavity for camera access. Regardless of the leak's location, slight damage might be essential to access and repair it.

Will you switch off the water during leak detection?

We usually won't need to isolate your water supply during leak investigations. But, we may need to turn off the stopcock for a short while when completing repairs.

How long does it take to detect a leak?

Leak detection usually takes anywhere between a several hours up to a full day or more. The time necessary to locate the leak source depends on the type of leak, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.

Will you mend my leak?

Yes. We are able to repair plumbing system leaks on the same day as detection, assuming our engineer has enough time after finding the leak. Repair charges apply separately.

Can you help with my insurance claim?

Yes. We produce insurance-approved reports for insurance claim purposes. If your home insurance includes "Trace and Access" coverage, you can get back the leak detection costs.
