Our plumbing technicians give a immediate central heating leak repair service.
Swimming pool leaks stem from the pool structure, liner or be found anywhere on the filtration system. The single most common cause of a swimming pool leak is cracked pipes on the filtration system caused by ground movement, additional causes include deteriorated filtration system fittings or damage to the pool structure. Our PADI Certified divers provide a SPATA registered swimming pool leak detection service to discover the origin of swimming pool leaks
Water main leaks can show as an internal or external water leak. A elevated water bill is a sign of a leaking water main. The most common location of a water mains leak is outside where the water main is impacted by ground movement which causes pipes to split or fittings to become compromised. Our technicians carry out a water meter leak test to verify if the leak is internal or external, then perform a leak detection investigation to pinpoint the leak.
Underground water leaks arise from water mains, irrigation systems or drainage pipes. Causes of underground water leaks include ground movement, worn pipes, tree root damage or defective installations. We pinpoint underground water leaks by firstly assessing which pipes are below the ground. Our non destructive leak detection process is used to trace the location of the leak without causing damage to the ground surface.
Underfloor heating leaks frequently occur on the manifold valves, circuit pipes and from loose fittings. Causes of leaks on under-floor heating circuits include deteriorated pipework, substandard installation, damage to the pipes, age or a poor maintenance routine. Our engineers pinpoint leaks on underfloor heating circuits using thermal imaging, tracer gas and acoustic listening devices.
Building leaks appear in the roof, wall or foundations of a building due to settlement of building materials, subsidence, poor construction or deferred maintenance. Our structural leak investigation team pinpoint leaks in building materials including concrete, brick and wood using a range of leak detection techniques including tracer gas leak testing, thermal imaging and acoustic listening devices.
Roof leaks span from minor water intrusion causing damp to a severe flow of water in heavy rainfall. Roof water intrusion appears where there are broken tiles, damaged flashing, worn mortar or damage around a chimney. Causes of leaks on roofs include storm damage, poor construction, lacking maintenance and wear and tear as the roof gets older. Identify the source of your roof leak by choosing our highly qualified roof leak investigation team.
Shower and bathroom leaks stem from hidden pipework behind walls, under 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 experts find 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 occur on internal and external drain pipework. Causes of leaks on drain pipes include damaged pipes, faulty seals, blockages, loose connections along with tree roots and ground movement. A drainage system is not under pressure so leak detection methods are limited to CCTV assessments inside the drainage pipe. Our drainage specialist offers a complete inspection to identify the cause of the leak and is normally able to perform a repair on the same day.

We normally won't need to shut off your water supply during leak investigations. Nevertheless, we may need to close the stopcock for a short while when performing repairs.
Leak detection often takes between a several hours and a full day or more. The time required to pinpoint the leak source depends on the leak type, its location, and the complexity of the investigation.
Yes. We can repair plumbing leaks on the same day as detection, as long as our engineer has sufficient time after pinpointing the leak. Repair charges apply as an extra.
Yes. We supply insurance-approved reports for claims purposes. If your home insurance covers "Trace and Access" cover, you can reclaim the leak detection costs.
Every day a leak continues, the damage gets worse and costs grow. A small damp patch can easily become structural rot, mould growth, and foundation concerns - with repairs escalating from hundreds to tens of thousands of pounds. Don't wait for ceilings to collapse or floor collapse.
