Our plumbing technicians supply a rapid central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The most frequent 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.

Water mains leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a warning of a leaking water mains. The most frequent location of a water main leak is outside where the water supply pipe is damaged by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become compromised. Our experts carry out a water meter leak test to confirm whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to locate the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water supply lines, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly evaluating which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non destructive leak detection approach is used to track the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under floor heating circuits include degraded pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our engineers locate leaks on under-floor 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, substandard construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a variety of leak detection approaches including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from slow water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress happens where there are loose tiles, damaged flashing, crumbling mortar or damage around a chimney.
