Central heating heating leaks are often located under floors, within walls or cavities. A boiler dropping pressure is the most typical indicator of a leaking central heating system, further warnings include water damage or needing to frequently bleed radiators. Our engineers detect the source of heating leaks, regardless of the cause or location of the leak using non invasive leak detection equipment. Our plumbing engineers supply a rapid central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be located anywhere on the filtration system. The 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 Trained divers offer a SPATA recognised swimming pool leak detection service to identify the cause of swimming pool leaks
Water supply leaks can appear as an internal or external water leak. A unusually high water bill is a sign of a leaking water supply line. 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 split or fittings to become faulty. Our engineers conduct a water meter leak test to establish if the leak is internal or external, then carry out a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks come from water mains pipes, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, deteriorated pipes, tree root damage or faulty installations. We identify underground water leaks by initially identifying which pipes are under the ground. Our non-destructive leak detection method is used to find the cause of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks commonly appear on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include worn pipework, faulty installation, damage to the pipes, age or a deficient maintenance routine. Our technicians pinpoint 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 settlement of building materials, subsidence, defective construction or neglected maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a selection of leak detection technologies including Tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks extend from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water penetration develops where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, improper construction, neglected maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Pinpoint the source of your roof leak by choosing our exceptionally skilled roof leak investigation specialists.
Shower and bathroom leaks come from hidden pipework behind walls, beneath the bathtub, shower tray or sink. Causes of shower and bathroom leaks include worn fixtures, fittings, washers and seals along with corrosion of pipes and loose plumbing fixtures. Our plumbing leak detection professionals identify leaks on bathroom pipework including hot and cold feeds to showers, baths, sinks and toilets using non destructive leak detection equipment. Avoid further water damage to your property!
Drainage leaks occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, worn seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drain system is not pressurized so leak detection techniques are limited to CCTV investigations inside the drainpipe. Our drainage technician provide a comprehensive inspection to identify the cause of the leak and are normally able to undertake a repair on the same day.
