Central heating heating leaks are usually concealed below floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping water pressure is the most likely indicator of a leaking central heating system, more warnings include water damage or needing to constantly bleed radiators. Our experts find the cause of heating leaks, irrespective of the cause or location of the leak using non-invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing specialists offer a rapid central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks arise from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The most likely cause of a swimming pool leak is damaged pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, further causes include worn filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to detect the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a signal of a leaking water supply line. The single most likely location of a water mains leak is outside where the water mains is influenced by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become defective. Our engineers do a water meter leak test to identify whether the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to identify the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, corroded pipes, tree root damage or inadequate installations. We detect underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are underneath the ground. Our non invasive leak detection system is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Under-floor heating leaks typically occur 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 inadequate maintenance routine. Our engineers detect leaks on under-floor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks occur in the roof, walls or foundations of a building due to settling of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team discover leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection systems including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks vary from minor water intrusion causing damp to a heavy flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water ingress appears where there are damaged tiles, damaged flashing, failing mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, faulty construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Detect the source of your roof leak by choosing our extremely expert roof leak investigation technicians.
Shower and bathroom leaks arise from hidden pipework inside walls, underneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn out 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. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage Leaks arise 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 pressurized so leak detection approaches are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drain pipe. Our drainage expert delivers a complete inspection to find the cause of the leak and is usually able to execute a repair on the same day.
