Central heating heating leaks are often buried under floors, within walls or cavities.

Our plumbing experts provide a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks originate from the pool structure, liner or be present anywhere on the filtration system. The single most frequent 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 deliver a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to find the source of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a symptom of a leaking water main. The single most likely location of a water supply leak is outside where the water supply pipe is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to crack or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers carry out a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then conduct a leak detection investigation to discover the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or poor installations. We discover underground water leaks by firstly determining which pipes are under the ground. Our non-invasive leak detection technique is used to identify the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks typically happen on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on underfloor heating circuits include damaged pipework, incorrect installation, damage to the pipes, age or a inadequate maintenance routine. Our experts discover leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks arise in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, inadequate construction or insufficient maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a array of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks range from minor water intrusion causing damp to a significant flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress develops where there are cracked tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, incorrect construction, insufficient maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly experienced roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework behind walls, under 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 technicians locate leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Prevent further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks develop 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 drainage system is not pressurised so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage technician provides a complete inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are often able to perform a repair on the same day.
